Equihua v. Carondelet Health Network

OPINION

HOWARD, Chief Judge.

¶1 Martha Equihua, personal representative for the estate of Julio Preciado, appeals from the trial court’s entry of summary judgment in favor of Carondelet St. Mary’s Hospital (“St. Mary’s”) on Equihua’s claim for abuse under the Adult Protective Services Act (“APSA”) and wrongful death.
