Trinity Hospital pays Rock Island County $80,000 for Hepatitis A Outbreak

By Marler Clark LLP

ADVERTISEMENTS

According to the Quad-City Times, Trinity Regional Health System has paid $80,000 to Rock Island County to help reimburse unanticipated expenses related to this past summer's hepatitis A outbreak.

Trinity Medical Center treated some of at least 32 patients who came down with the liver disease in July and August. The Rock Island County Health Department inoculated more than 5,324 area residents against the disease during vaccination clinics held in late July.

An investigation completed in early August by the Rock Island County Sheriff's Department concluded that Trinity Regional Health System and Metropolitan Medical Laboratory did not report cases of hepatitis A as promptly as required by law to the county health department, where the belated reports were not acted upon immediately because an employee was on vacation.
