More than 40 radiologists from Advanced Imaging Specialists (AIS) are set to leave Saint Francis Hospital by March 20 after filing a lawsuit against the hospital for mismanagement and lack of necessary equipment in the radiology department. The lawsuit alleges breaches of contract and misrepresentation concerning the hospital’s operational capabilities. This staffing crisis follows a history of serious issues at the hospital, including inadequate staffing linked to two patient deaths and state fines. Lawmakers have expressed concerns about staffing and patient care, urging more state oversight. Recent inspections by the Connecticut Department of Public Health revealed multiple health regulation violations at the hospital, raising alarms about patient safety and care quality. In light of these issues, hospital officials claim there will be continuity in radiology services as they work on a transition plan.
