Montana’s psychiatric hospital is poorly run and neglect has hastened patient deaths, lawsuit says
- The families of Lucio DiMauro, David Patzoldt, and patient Lesley Jungers have filed a federal lawsuit against Montana State Hospital, alleging abuse and neglect of low-income residents with mental health issues.
- The lawsuit claims that the hospital violates state laws protecting patient dignity and constitutional rights, with patients regularly being overmedicated, suffering falls without notification, and enduring untreated wounds.
- The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services have halted funding to the hospital due to inadequate staffing, repeated patient endangerment, and failure to address issues such as patient deaths, assaults, and COVID-19 outbreaks.
