Three clinics at center of hepatitis outbreak file for bankruptcy

The three medical clinics at the center of last year’s hepatitis outbreak filed for bankruptcy Friday, a move that threatens to delay the first civil trial involving a patient infected with hepatitis C. The Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada, Gastroenterology Center of Nevada, and Desert Shadow Endoscopy Center all filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which calls for liquidation of any corporate assets.
