A Denver Health physician alleged she was pushed out in retaliation for speaking about racial discrimination, the latest turn in an ongoing battle about the hospital’s practices.
Dr. Katie Bakes filed a lawsuit last month alleging the hospital essentially forced her to resign by not allowing her to return to her previous job after medical leave, in retaliation for filing complaints with the Colorado Civil Rights Division and making other statements that upset executives.
Denver Health said it rejects the allegations “in the strongest possible way” and has policies to prevent discrimination and retaliation. Before the pandemic, Bakes worked half-time as an emergency room physician and half-time as medical director of “prehealth” programs. Prehealth programs included efforts to interest youth in medical careers and to intervene with young people who came to the hospital with injuries from violence, to try to decrease the odds they’d be a victim or perpetrator again.
