Shalom Braunstein, the Monsey CEO of Sympaticare Health, has filed a lawsuit in state Supreme Court seeking $5.9 million in fees and damages, claiming that his reputation has been sullied, lohud reported.

While County Executive Ed Day would not comment on the lawsuit, he has pointed the finger at Sympaticare for pulling out of the deal to buy the Summit Park Hospital and Nursing Care Center at the last minute, even after, he had said, it was offered an extension, the lohud story said.
