The Health Care Foundation of Greater Kansas City on Thursday won a $162 million lawsuit against Hospital Corp. of America, the nation's largest profit-making hospital chain.
Missouri Judge John Torrence ruled that HCA had failed to abide by an agreement to make improvements to dilapidated hospitals that it bought in the Kansas City area back in 2003.
HCF filed a lawsuit against HCA and its affiliate, HM Acquisition, in October 2009 to ensure that it had complied with its more than $950 million obligation to area residents. The purpose of the lawsuit was to determine if HCA had complied with its obligations to make $450 million in capital improvements to existing Health Midwest facilities and provide more than $500 million in charity care, the Health Care Foundation of Greater Kansas City clarified.
