Amid Massive Hospital Sell-Off, Corporate Giant Continues Suing Patients
Tennova Healthcare-Lebanon doesn't exist anymore as a hospital. But it still sued Hope Cantwell.
A knock came on the door of Cantwell's East Nashville apartment early this year. She hadn't been vaccinated yet and says she wasn't really answering the door to strangers. So she didn't.
But then several more attempts came over the course of a week. Eventually she masked up and opened. A legal assistant served her a lawsuit; she was summoned to appear in court.
"I couldn't believe someone — someone? a corporation? a company? — was doing this during a pandemic," Cantwell says.

Tennova SUCKS. I hate Tennova with every fiber of my being and the fire of a thousand suns. They killed both of the hospitals I worked for in Knoxville (one of which was a Top 100 Heart Hospital) and their main business seems to be buying up and killing hospitals and suing patients. MFA NOW!
