Representative Robin Kelly announced the Women Expansion for Learning and Labor Safety (WELLS) Act, named after Mercedes Wells, to require hospitals to adopt a "Safe Discharge Labor Plan" after Wells gave birth in a car following her discharge from Franciscan Health Crown Point.The WELLS Act also mandates racial bias and cultural competency training for healthcare workers and responds to the public apology by Franciscan Health, which instituted new patient exam policies and parted ways with the nurse and doctor involved.
