A jury in Connecticut awarded a billion-dollar judgment against Steward Health Care following a medical malpractice suit concerning operations at the West Valley campus of Jordan Valley Medical Center. The incident occurred during a delivery in October 2019, when the hospital was owned by Steward. Allegations include that nurses gave dangerously high doses of Pitocin and that an on-call physician was unresponsive while fetal distress was ignored.

The suit was decided via default judgment after Steward Health Care reportedly stopped participating and their lawyers resigned. The judgment concerns the care provided to Anyssa Zancanella and her partner, whose daughter Azaylee sustained hypoxic-ischemic brain injury and requires 24-hour care.
