BOSTON - The head of eastern Massachusetts' Roman Catholic hospital system resigned early Thursday amid allegations he harassed more than a dozen female employees by subjecting them to unwanted hugs and kisses, his spokeswoman said.

The announcement of Dr. Robert Haddad's resignation came about 1 1/2 hours after an extended meeting of the board of Caritas Christi Health Care.

His spokeswoman, Nancy Sterling, said the board gave Haddad the option of being fired or resigning and receiving 10 months pay plus benefits. Members met more than five hours Wednesday night.

"Dr. Haddad chose to resign in order to allow both himself and Caritas Christi Health Care System to move forward," Sterling said.
