(Seattle, WA) -- A lawsuit by four hospital systems in Oregon is back on track after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the lawsuit was wrongfully dismissed. Legacy Health, PeaceHealth, Providence Health, and St. Charles Health filed a lawsuit against the Oregon Health Authority claiming it failed to adequately provide care for people with severe mental illness. OHA said it was a long-standing problem in Oregon. An Appeals Court judge said it was a problem, because Oregon isn't stepping up to the plate. The Appeals Court ruling means the case can proceed.
