Scottsdale Healthcare Hospitals, doing business as HonorHealth, which provides medical care at multiple hospitals and medical facilities in the Phoenix area, and the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) have resolved a disability discrimination lawsuit filed in 2020 by the EEOC, the federal agency announced. The EEOC sued HonorHealth alleging that HonorHealth failed to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities, including failing to provide reassignment. As part of the resolution, HonorHealth will pay $1.75 million to former employees who sought reasonable accommodations from HonorHealth in the past. In addition, HonorHealth agreed to review and update as necessary their EEO and reasonable accommodation policies to ensure they comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and EEOC guidance. HonorHealth has also agreed to provide training on the ADA and its revised reasonable accommodation policies to its employees.
