Susan Whitaker-Pine v. Board of Trustees of the Flavius J. Witham Memorial Hospital

If You Had A Witham Patient Portal Account And Logged In Between January 1, 2020 Through December 31, 2023, You May Be Entitled To A $25.00 Payment From A Class Action Settlement.

A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit claiming that Defendant, Board of Trustees of the Flavius J. Witham Memorial Hospital (“Witham” or “Defendant”), disclosed confidential personally identifiable information (“PII”) and/or protected health information (“PHI”) (collectively referred to as “Private Information”) to third-party technologies without patient consent. Witham firmly denies all of Plaintiff’s claims in the lawsuit and maintains that it did nothing wrong but has agreed to the settlement to avoid the expense, burden and uncertainties associated with continuing litigation.

You are included if you are or were a patient of Witham residing in the United States and had a patient portal account with Witham and logged in between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2023. Persons included in the Settlement will be eligible to submit a Claim Form to receive a cash payment of $25.00. Class Members will also have the option to enroll in the Privacy Shield Pro product.

Defendant has agreed to pay all approved claims to the Settlement Class, together with notice and administrative expenses, approved attorneys’ fees and costs to Class Counsel, and an Incentive Award to the Class Representatives.
