The District has dropped the lawsuit it filed in December against Providence Health System and its nonprofit parent, St. Louis-based Ascension Health, over the D.C. hospital's closure plans.
D.C. Superior Court Associate Judge Hiram E. Puig-Lugo dismissed the suit March 6, days before the parties were set to appear in court March 12 for a status hearing. The decision was based on the D.C. Office of Attorney General's office own move to dismiss the claims.
