A group of 21 Alabama hospitals, including UAB Health System affiliates Medical West and The Healthcare Authority for Baptist Health, Brookwood Baptist Medical Center, Princeton Baptist Medical Center, Walker Baptist Medical Center, Shelby Baptist Medical and Grandview Medical Center, has filed suit in Conecuh County Circuit Court against the manufacturers, distributors and retailers of opioid-based drugs. “Our hospitals, along with many others, have been on the front lines of treating patients for this epidemic and continue to incur significant financial harm and consequences as a result,” a statement from Brookwood Baptist Health said. “These dollars were spent to the detriment of other health-related programs and benefits for the people in the community we serve.” UAB and Grandview declined to comment further on pending litigation.
