Melissa Maddox has filed a lawsuit against Healthfield Home Health, LLC, doing business as Centerwell Home Health Services, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The case revolves around allegations of discrimination and retaliation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADAAA). Maddox claims she was discriminated against due to her disabilities, which include HIV and osteoarthritis, and that her employer failed to provide reasonable accommodations. Despite informing her employer about her health conditions upon hiring, Maddox alleges she faced increasing hostility from her supervisor, Yvonne Suarez, leading to unwarranted disciplinary actions and eventual termination on May 1, 2024. Maddox is seeking damages for lost wages, emotional distress, and punitive damages.
