The neonatal intensive care unit nurse at Kent General Hospital was awarded punitive damages in Kent County Superior Court.

A jury determined that Bayhealth violated the Delaware Persons with Disabilities Employment Act by not allowing Suzanne Wilgus to return to work wearing a back brace following surgery. Bayhealth staff claimed that Wilgus could not perform her job duties with the brace, but attorneys for Wilgus argued that the brace was a reasonable accommodation and imposed no physical limitations.
