BRATTLEBORO â A lawsuit filed against the Brattleboro Retreat by a former nurse is going to trial in federal court.
During a virtual, pre-trial conference on Wednesday, attorneys for Elizabeth Dignitti, who worked at the Retreat for 10 years before being terminated, said all the required mediation had been conducted and no resolution was reached. There has been some follow-up and I m sure we will continue to be in touch if there is any movement in that area, said Aimee Goddard of Windham Law in Brattleboro.
In court documents filed in May 2020, attorneys for Dignitti claimed she was fired after filing a complaint about jokes of a sexual nature made about a male nurse, Edward Dowd, who was also a union representative. The jokes were made during a meeting with Chief Nursing Officer Meghan Baston and a number of other managers and directors at the Retreat, states the suit.
