EEOC v. Ephraim McDowell Health, Inc.

The EEOC filed a lawsuit claiming that a hospital discriminated against a female employee by denying her a promotion and then retaliated against her by firing her after she filed a discrimination charge with the EEOC. A male who did not meet education requirements for the job that the female employee sought was hired instead of her, and the EMH CEO has allegedly stated that a male is better fit for the role.
