Another 26 women filed lawsuits against former gynecologist Dr. Fabio Ortega and Endeavor Health this week, with many alleging the doctor sexually assaulted them and that Endeavor failed to protect them. A total of 60 former patients have now sued Ortega, Endeavor and/or Swedish Hospital, where Ortega previously worked. Most of the 26 women behind the new lawsuits allege they saw Ortega for exams in 2017 — after Skokie police had already notified Endeavor they were investigating the doctor’s behavior because of a patient complaint.
