Henrico Doctors' Hospital settles with 5 families of babies allegedly abused in NICU
Table of Contents
A judge has accepted settlement agreements between several families and HCA Health Services of Virginia, the company that owns Henrico Doctor's Hospital, where multiple babies were allegedly abused in the NICU.
The settlement hearings took place Friday in Salem, Virginia, nearly three hours from the hospital.
According to a report in the Roanoke Times, attorney John Owen, who represented the hospital, said in court that the families wanted the hearings held out of town to avoid the spotlight.
Five families reached settlement agreements with the hospital chain for six babies.
The terms of these settlements are not public, so it's unclear how much money each child will receive.
