Dozens of women who say they were sexually abused by former gynecologist Robert Hadden have reached a settlement with the hospital system that employed him that will allow them to seek money from a $71.5 million victims' compensation fund.
Columbia University Irving Medical Center and New York-Presbyterian Hospital reached the settlement with 79 women who were patients of Hadden, according to a news release from a law firm representing the women. The $71.5 million will be distributed under the direction of an independent special master selected by attorneys representing the women and the hospital system, the news release said.
Donna Lynne, Columbia University Irving Medical Center senior vice president and chief operating officer, said in a statement that the settlement reflects the hospital system's determination to support the admirable women who have come forward and called attention to Hadden's"abhorrent behavior.""Our goal has been to make sure that what Hadden did can never happen again.
