Tyler hospital releases statement in wake of lawsuit announcement

A Tyler hospital released a statement after a San Antonio law firm announced they filed a lawsuit on behalf of one of the victims involved in the ex-nurse investigation.

TYLER — CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Francis Hosptial release a statement Friday afternoon in regards to a suit filed by a San Antonio law firm involving William Davis, a former nurse charged with murder.

The statement reads in part:

Mr. Davis was a credentialed nurse who passed all background checks when he was hired. The hospital took swift and appropriate action in January when new information came to light that led us to suspect this might be a matter for law enforcement. There was nothing about his employment history at CHRISTUS or at previous employers that would have led us to conclude that Mr. Davis was likely to commit a crime.

The hospital will not comment further on the pending litigation due to the ongoing criminal investigation and privacy laws.

CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital - Tyler first met with authorities on January 28 regarding this matter.
