Although 19th District Judge Don Johnson this week sided with attorneys representing patients as well as HPL employees concerning Senate Concurrent Resolution 48 of the 2014 legislative session, the main issues still to be resolved pertain to money. The Pineville hospital has been closed since June 30, 2014.

Attorney Chris Roy Sr. of Alexandria said he will file to amend his lawsuit to seek state payment of lost wages and other benefits for the HPL employees who lost their jobs when the hospital shut down. ~ TownTalk
