In 2012, Vitas HealthCare in Miami paid $65,000 to resolve a disability discrimination lawsuit and agreed to amend its reasonable accommodation policy. Eveline Chery, a hospice nurse, became unable to perform the responsibilities of her role due to her high blood pressure. Her position required a lot of driving to and from hospices, so she asked to be reassigned to a vacant position at the company. Despite being qualified for the position, Vitas refused to accommodate her needs. Failing to provide Eveline the reasonable accommodation of switching roles was a direct violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
