BOSTON – Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center has rejected the appeal of a Needham doctor who was terminated in March for making what the hospital says were anti-gay remarks.
Dr. Paul Church, a 30-year veteran urologist at the hospital, had appealed to a disciplinary board to reinstate his privileges, but the hospital sent him a letter dated Sept. 4 rejecting his appeal, Church told the NewBostonPost. The letter and supporting documents cannot be released under hospital confidentiality policies, Church said.
DENVER (AP) — The federal health care law doesn't infringe on the religious freedom of faith-based nonprofit organizations that object to covering birth control in employee health plans, a federal appeals court in Denver ruled Tuesday.
