Judge Allows Lawsuit Against HCA Healthcare Over Mission Health Services to Proceed
A North Carolina Business Court judge has ruled that a lawsuit against HCA Healthcare regarding emergency and cancer care at Mission Health will proceed. The lawsuit, initiated by Attorney General Jeff Jackson, accuses HCA of failing to uphold service commitments made during its 2019 acquisition of Mission Health System. The court denied most of HCA's motion for summary judgment, allowing key parts of the case to move forward. The lawsuit alleges that HCA has reduced oncology and other services, violating the sale agreement. The case is expected to go to trial next year unless a settlement is reached.
