Aurora Sinai Medical Center in Milwaukee, Wis., suspended employees involved in discharging a mentally ill homeless man who was wearing only a hospital gown and scrub pants, according to an article on the Becker's Clinical Leadership & Infection Control website.
Witnesses saw staff roll the man out of the hospital in a wheelchair and leave him on the sidewalk.
Eva Welch, director of the local homeless organization Street Angels Milwaukee Outreach said workers with her organization previously witnessed Aurora Sinai's security personnel discharge another homeless person into freezing temperatures two weeks ago.
News of patient dumping in Milwaukee follows similar incidents reported in Maryland and California this month.
