In March 2020, Zachary Solomon was admitted to St. Joseph Hospital for COVID-19. Shortly thereafter he was intubated for 10 days, developing severe pressure sores. He sued St. Joseph Hospital, and its operator Catholic Health Systems of Long Island Inc. for malpractice, negligence, and gross negligence.
