ManorCare sues podiatry services provider over historically large hepatitis outbreak

HCR ManorCare has sued Trinity Health after analysis suggested an association between a large hepatitis C outbreak with podiatry and blood draw services that the skilled nursing company contracted for, according to local reports.

Two residents filed a federal lawsuit against ManorCare in April.
