Shawn Gilman, Vice President & Senior Corporate Counsel, Providence St. Joseph Health, speaks with Joseph Wheeler, Associate, Dinsmore & Shohl LLP, about the impact of these policy changes on health care providers and how legal counsel can advise. They discuss the history of immigration actions in sensitive areas like hospitals and what has recently changed, key legal requirements and best practices that providers must keep in mind when responding to an ICE action, state law considerations, navigating organizational mission and values, and proactive steps legal counsel can take to prepare for future developments.
