Stephen Zack and Debra Goodstone of Boies Schiller Flexner represent former general counsel to South Broward Hospital District Kimarie Stratos, who has sued over her 2018 firing — a move she claims was made after she tried to stop the district from violating Florida's Sunshine Law, wasting public money and releasing patients' confidential medical information.
The district, commonly known as Memorial Healthcare System, includes Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood, Memorial Hospital Pembroke and Memorial Hospital Miramar, and has more than 266 doctors.
Stratos was hired as vice president and general counsel in 2010 and fired in 2018, according to the lawsuit, which alleges the district violated Florida's Whistle-blower's Act, and accuses board members Douglas Harrison and Laura Miller of tortious interference.
