SUSPENSION OR REVOCATION FOR VIOLATION OF FACILITY LICENSING LAWS (§ 54.1-2918)

Whenever the Board of Health has suspended or revoked any license granted under
the provisions of Article 1 (§ 32.1-123 et seq.) of Chapter 5 of Title 32.1 and
such suspension or revocation resulted from a violation of any provision of this
chapter, or because of illegal practice, or conduct or practices detrimental to
the welfare of any patient or resident in such hospital, a report of such action
shall be made by the Board of Health to the Board of Medicine.
		If it appears from the report, or from other evidence produced before the
Board of Medicine, that the legally responsible head of such hospital is a
practitioner of any branch of the healing arts, the Board may suspend or revoke
the certificate or license of such person, or prosecute such person if
unlicensed. The Board may suspend or revoke the certificate or license of or
prosecute for unlicensed practice any person subject to this chapter who is
practicing in or employed by such hospital if such practitioner or employee is
guilty of, responsible for, or implicated in illegal practices for which the
hospital license has been suspended or revoked.
