The Bert Fish Foundation has filed a lawsuit against the Bert Fish merger with Orlando-based Florida Hospital asking the court to declare the lease and sale of the Bert Fish facility null and void due to closed meetings that violate Florida’s Sunshine Law.

A Sept. 27 meeting has been scheduled to attempt to clear the air between the Bert Fish Foundation and the Southeast Volusia Hospital District Board that held the private meetings, according to the report.
