The lawsuit alleges that an Asian American HCA employee was passed over for a promotion in favor of a younger, underqualified white employee. After the employee complained, the lawsuit alleges that the employer retaliated against him through write-ups, berating him and finally terminating him.
HCA divisions Tennessee Healthcare and GME Overhead were also included in the federal lawsuit filed in Nashville, according to a July 31 EEOC news release.
“Our culture is built on a foundation of inclusion, compassion and respect – for our patients and for each other,” a HCA spokesperson told Becker’s. “We are disappointed that the EEOC chose to file this legal action and intend to vigorously defend ourselves through the legal process.”
