North Carolina attorney general sues HCA for lapses at Mission Health
North Carolina’s attorney general alleges in a new lawsuit that HCA Healthcare is violating the terms of the agreement that allowed it to buy Mission Health, a formerly nonprofit health system.
In the complaint filed Thursday, attorney general Josh Stein said HCA, the country’s largest for-profit hospital chain, is not providing the quality, consistent emergency and cancer care that it committed to delivering across Mission’s six western North Carolina hospitals. Stein, whose office has fielded more than 500 complaints about Mission since HCA took over, formally declared in October that HCA violated the agreement. At that time, he threatened to sue if HCA did not correct the lapses.
