Lo v. Provena Covenant Medical Center

Professional Review Action

Lo v. Provena Covenant Med. Ctr.,
2004 WL 162685 (Ill. Jan. 28, 2004)

The Illinois Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal
from a physician where the lower court ruled that a hospital board had the inherent
authority to take action suspending the cardiac surgeon’s clinical privileges,
even if such action could be found to be inconsistent with the hospital’s medical
staff bylaws.
