Ohio Supreme Court Has Not Ruled On Motion

Capital Care Network’s Motion for Reconsideration Still Pending

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, February 27, 2018 (Toledo, OH):  Yesterday Attorney General Mike DeWine’s office filed with the Ohio Supreme Court its response to Capital Care Network’s motion for reconsideration. Please accept my sincere apology for my fake news report yesterday. The pull quotes below are totally accurate and it is our belief the Ohio Supreme Court will affirm its ruling, as it considers both the Capital Care’s motion for reconsideration and the State of Ohio’s counter-argument.

Here are some pull quotes from the motion filed yesterday by the AG’s Office; “Appellee Capital Care Network of Ohio (the “Clinic”) offers no sound reason for the court to reverse course and reconsider its decision upholding the Department of Health’s 2014 order revoking the Clinic’s license. The Clinic is wrong. Reconsideration here is unjustified, and allowing a party to undo a judgment after a decision would undermine the rule of law.”

Ohioans Call on ProMedica to temporarily refrain from Transfer Agreement

FoundationLifeToledo Abortion Clinic Owes Department of Health $40,000 Fine from Investigation
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, February 6, 2018 (Toledo, OH):  Today, Ohio Right to Life and the greater Toledo pro-life movement calls upon the leadership of ProMedica to pause before entering into a transfer agreement with Capital Care Network of Toledo. Capital Care Network has been fined by the Ohio Department of Health based on an investigation that revealed a significant departure from typical health and safety standards.
State health inspectors discovered that after one woman had an abortion, the doctor believed that the woman’s bowel might have been perforated. Capital Care Network did not follow their own medical emergencies procedure, which would have been to call 911. Instead, they sent the patient out the back door and into an employee’s personal car.  They dropped her off at the hospital, and then came right back, not ensuring that the woman was treated promptly.
“While Ohio law allows for Hospitals to enter into transfer agreements with these clinics, we are appealing to ProMedica’s reputation and desire to contract with reputable entities,” said Mike Gonidakis, President of Ohio Right to Life. “The ProMedica Board should wait until the legal process with the Ohio Department of Health is finalized.  Otherwise, ProMedica may be contracting with a clinic that continues to violate state law and owes our government a substantial debt.  We can only hope that ProMedica would exercise great discretion prior to partnering with an entity which has current legal problems with state health officials.”
Aside from the health and safety issues, Capital Care Network has employed two doctors within the last four years who have had their medical licenses suspended. Dr. Thomas Michaelis was convicted of possession and distribution of child pornography. He has a history of sexual abuse and lost his medical license in the 90s, but it was reinstated. He worked at Capital Care Network until May 2014. Dr. David Burkons’ medical license was suspended last year because he gave his staff blank prescriptions that he had signed and didn’t report the prescription of controlled substances to six patients.
“Capital Care Network has operated in so many illegal and reprehensible ways,” said Gonidakis. “ProMedica is an upstanding healthcare organization, and it should proceed with caution before partnering with an abortion facility of such ill repute.” Ohio Right to Life calls upon its statewide membership to contact ProMedica with their concerns.
