SEATTLE, March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Nine additional women have filed a lawsuit against Dr. Mark Mulholland, an OB-GYN employed by Providence St. Joseph Health and Kadlec Regional Medical Center located in the Tri-Cities region of Washington State. The lawsuit alleges Dr. Mulholland engaged in various types of abuse during exams and medical procedures.
Represented by attorneys Elizabeth Hanley of Schroeter Goldmark & Bender and Tamara Holder of Tamara Holder Law, the latest filing adds Jane Doe 123 and eight other women to the growing litigation. The legal team has already filed numerous lawsuits in King County Superior Court, and Holder and Hanley represent approximately 170 former patients of Providence-Kadlec and Dr. Mulholland.
Dr. Mulholland worked for Providence-Kadlec from 1999 until June 2025. The lawsuit also alleges Providence-Kadlec allowed Mulholland to see patients even after the Washington Commission filed charges against him. Mulholland’s license to practice medicine on women is currently suspended as the Commission investigates multiple female patients’ complaints.
The latest lawsuit alleges, among other things: Mulholland forced a patient to undergo an unnecessary C-section; Mulholland removed a patient’s fallopian tubes without her consent; Mulholland invasively touched a patient, made comments about her sexual anatomy, and performed a hysterectomy and mesh implantation without advising her of associated risks. Additional plaintiffs allege that Mulholland made overtly sexual comments, discussed their sex lives in detail, and engaged in unnecessary anal exams.
“Health care institutions that turn a blind eye to abuse of women and ignore their complaints are not exempt from legal liability and public accountability,” says attorney Tamara Holder. “Institutions have a duty to protect patients, not shield abusers. We are pursuing accountability at every level to ensure survivors are heard and justice is served,” says attorney Elizabeth Hanley.
