CHARLESTON — A vice president of ambulatory services is suing hospital operators, citing alleged discrimination, retaliation and wrongful termination.
Mariana G. Massey filed a complaint in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia Charleston Division against Roane General Hospital, Jeffrey B. Hunt and Douglas E. Bentz, alleging that they violated the West Virginia Human Rights Act.
According to the complaint, Massey alleges that on April 8, 2018, she was unlawfully terminated from her employment. She has suffered lost wages, significant aggravation, inconvenience, mental anguish and humiliation.
Massey holds Roane General Hospital, Jeffrey B. Hunt and Douglas E. Bentz responsible because they allegedly subjected her to gender-biased discrimination and a volatile and hostile working environment, and retaliated against her by terminating her employment for exercising her rights.
The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks all damages provided by law, attorneys’ fees, costs and any other relief that is just and equitable. She is represented by Maria W. Hughes and Mark Goldner of Hughes & Goldner PLLC in Charleston.
