Elizabeth Hanley Featured on Apple Valley News Now – OB-GYN Mark Mulholland lawsuits spark patient safety questions
SGB Attorney Elizabeth Hanley, Chicago attorney Tamara Holder, and survivors speak about the allegations against Mulholland
Elizabeth Hanley of Schroeter Goldmark & Bender in Seattle and co-counsel Tamara Holder of Tamara Holder Law in Chicago were recently featured in a story by Apple Valley News Now, discussing the growing number of lawsuits filed against Tri-Cities OB-GYN Dr. Mark E. Mulholland.
Mulholland practiced for more than two decades in Richland at Providence Health & Services and Kadlec Regional Medical Center and its Associated Physicians for Women Clinic. He is currently under investigation by the Washington Medical Commission and has been accused of sexual misconduct by more than a hundred former patients.
In the article by Apple Valley News Now, Hanley and Holder highlighted the documented pattern of complaints against Dr. Mulholland, including allegations that he made inappropriate sexual comments about patients' bodies, crossed professional boundaries during exams and in some cases performed procedures without consent. Survivors describe lasting trauma, from losing trust in medical providers to avoiding future care out of fear. The story also highlights that complaints about Dr. Mulholland were often minimized or dismissed, raising questions about institutional negligence and patient safety.
Elizabeth and Tamara remain committed to pursuing justice for survivors and have extensive experience advocating for victims of sexual abuse. If you are, or know, a former patient of Dr. Mulholland who believes they may have been harmed, we urge you to come forward. Learn more about the lawsuits here.
