Hartgrove Behavioral Health System, located in Chicago, Illinois, is a psychiatric facility that provides inpatient and outpatient mental health treatment to children, adolescents, and adults. Owned and operated by UHS of Hartgrove, Inc., a subsidiary of Universal Health Services (UHS), the facility serves patients suffering from a range of psychiatric disorders, including depression, PTSD, ADHD, and behavioral disorders.

Despite its mission to provide psychiatric care, Hartgrove Hospital has faced persistent allegations of abuse, neglect, and institutional failures, particularly concerning the treatment of minors. Over the years, reports have surfaced of staff members exploiting patients, failure to supervise vulnerable minors, and systemic efforts to cover up abuse rather than report it. These allegations are consistent with issues found across multiple UHS-owned behavioral health facilities. This page examines the problem, explains the allegations, and outlines our lawyers’ view of what the UHS Hartgrove settlement payouts will look like.

If you or a loved one experienced abuse at Hartgrove or another UHS facility, call us at 800-553-8082 or reach out to us confidentially online.

Survivors of the Central California Women’s Facility (often referred to as the Chowchilla Women’s Prison) have filed civil lawsuits alleging pervasive sexual abuse by correctional staff, detailing coercion, unwanted physical contact, and retaliation for reporting misconduct.

These claims underpin a growing wave of litigation holding the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) accountable. The lawsuits reveal an enduring pattern of institutional neglect, guards exploiting their authority, and administrators turning a blind eye to repeated pleas for protection and justice.

Our lawyers will continue to report on every major Chowchilla lawsuit update as discovery progresses and more survivors come forward. If this follows the pattern of other institutional sex abuse cases in California, the Chowchilla women’s prison lawsuit could result in one of the largest prison-related abuse settlements in U.S. history.
