Bert Fish merged with Florida Hospital last year, but a judge overturned the $80 million merger in February, ruling the hospital violated the state’s Sunshine law. The Sunshine law establishes a basic right of access to most meetings of boards, commissions and other governing bodies of state and local governmental agencies or authorities.
Bert Fish’s board said it followed its attorney’s advice in its action surrounding the merger. The board will now enter into mediation with law firm Lowndes, Drosdick, Doster Kantor & Reed in regards to the board’s claim against Jim Heekin, a partner at the Orlando-based firm.
