Initial construction on a 12-bed joint replacement hospital in Indio, Calif., has been halted due to a lawsuit filed by the local full-service hospital, John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital, according to a report by the Desert Sun.
JFK and the City of Indio, which approved the plan, have signed a “standstill agreement” stopping all construction activities on the hospital until the court rules on JFK’s request for a preliminary injunction.
JFK’s lawsuit said the City of Indio violated the California Environmental Quality Act by approving, allegedly without environmental review, Joint Replacement Hospitals of America’s proposal for the project.
