Columbia University Irving Medical Center and its affiliate, NewYork-Presbyterian, reached a settlement of over $165 million to be distributed to women who accused former gynecologist Robert Hadden of sexual abuse or misconduct.
The agreement was announced on Friday by the two hospitals, which said in a statement that the money would be distributed to 147 of Hadden's former patients.
In 2021, both hospitals agreed to make a $71 million compensation fund for 79 people who were patients of Hadden. Hadden was convicted in state court on sex-related charges in a state court in 2016 and surrendered his medical license, but wasn't given prison time.
