Kristina Holman filed her lawsuit, which also named Los Angeles-based Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, in March 2022. She worked at the center and alleged that after one of the ASC’s founding surgeons died, new management increased caseload, which led to a physician often overbooking cases. Ms. Holman’s lawsuit also alleged that management pressured her to resign when she was in her late 50s and was asked if she was willing to work part time because of her age.
On Jan. 14, Cedars-Sinai attorneys filed papers notifying a judge of a “conditional” settlement and a request for dismissal is planned by Feb. 28. Terms of the settlement weren’t disclosed.
A spokesperson for Cedars-Sinai said the health system doesn’t comment on pending legal matters.
