Adobe Stock PITTSBURGH – A Monroeville nursing home facility says that a former administrator who reported positive COVID-19 diagnoses at the facility to both county and state health authorities – and believes he was fired in retaliation – did not show he engaged in protected activity under the Pennsylvania Whistleblower Act. Ron Berlingo of Greensburg first filed suit in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas on Aug. 24 versus Monroeville Operations, LLC (doing business as “Monroeville Rehabilitation and Wellness Center”), of Monroeville. “Berlingo began employment at The Grove in Irwin on July 30, 2019 as a nursing home administrator. He was assigned to the defendant’s Monroeville Rehab and Wellness Center in or around September 2019 in the same position. The Center is a long-term care facility. Berlingo performed his job throughout his employment with defendant without receiving any formal discipline,” the suit said.
