Second Lawsuit Filed In Local Legionnaires' Disease Outbreak

bizjournals.com

A second lawsuit has been filed by an alleged victim of the Legionnaires' Disease outbreak at Mount Carmel's Grove City hospital. 

The attorney for Anna Hillis says she contracted the bacteria during her visit of May 14 and 16. The hospital system said this week it neglected to adequately disinfect and test its hot water system. The outbreak sickened 16 people, one of whom has died. A third lawsuit is pending.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
