A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by a nurses association against a New York City hospital for allegedly failing to adequately protect the health and safety of front-line nurses treating patients with COVID-19.
In April, the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) sued the Montefiore Medical Center, alleging that the hospital was exposing the nurses to the risk of death and serious physical harm by failing to provide adequate personal protective equipment, training, and safe working conditions for high-risk employees, including pregnant nurses.
