PRA partners with Families USA to file an amicus brief in Pennsylvania

Written By ilaria santangelo

On June 6, PatientRightsAdvocate.Org (PRA), in partnership with Families USA, filed an Amicus Brief in the case Pottstown School District (plaintiff-appellant) v. Pottstown Hospital, LLC, et al (defendants-appellees) which focuses on challenging the tax-exempt status of Pottstown Hospital, which is emblematic of this Pennsylvania and national crisis.

Pottstown Hospital along with many hospitals in Pennsylvania and across the country are keeping its patients in the dark as it continues to flout the transparency law and make decisions that are not beneficial for patients.

Through this Amicus Brief, PRA and Families USA are showing their dedication to bringing transparency to the big business behind hospitals. PRA remains focused on shifting the power out of the hands of greedy executives and into the hands of actual patients.
