Dr. Prpa is leaving Wheaton Franciscan in mid-August, and filed a lawsuit last May challenging the hospital’s restrictions preventing physicians who leave the facility from practicing medicine in Racine County for up to 18 months, according to the report.

A basis for Dr. Prpa’s challenge is the clause restricts him from providing any medical or surgical services during that period even though he was contracted to just perform orthopedic spinal surgery.
