The Centinela Freeman Holdings Company, which is the former owner of Centinela Freeman Regional Medical Center, has agreed to pay $125,000 in fines and penalties. Although the company agreed to pay, it did not acknowledge any wrongdoing.
The lawsuit stemmed from a 2007 incident in which a homeless woman with a chronic lung problem was allegedly left at a homeless shelter.
Centinela Freeman Holdings also agreed to an injunction that prohibits it from discharging homeless patients to the streets or shelters.
