Over the course of a yearlong investigation, the Chicago Tribune found that well-known Illinois health systems have allowed workers accused of abusing patients to keep providing care.
The Tribune identified 52 medical providers accused of sexual misconduct with patients in Illinois over the last decade. More than half of those providers faced allegations from multiple patients in recent years. The true numbers are almost certainly higher, since many allegations are not reported to law enforcement or to the state.
The Tribune hopes to continue reporting on how hospitals and other medical institutions respond when patients report instances of sexual misconduct by health care providers.
