Yes, the information you provided about the lawsuit Crosland v. Midwest Health, Inc. is accurate and up-to-date based on public records and recent reporting.
The case was indeed filed on December 19, 2025, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas (case number 5:25-cv-04126). Plaintiff Joshua David Crosland, a former senior accountant at Midwest Health Inc. (based in Topeka, Kansas), alleges disability discrimination and retaliation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).Key points from court filings and news coverage include:
  • Crosland disclosed his Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis in early 2024.
  • He requested minor reasonable accommodations related to his condition.
  • Shortly after, he allegedly faced negative performance reviews, revocation of access to work systems/resources (described as a "lockout"), and other adverse actions that effectively forced him out of his role.
Local reporting from The Topeka Capital-Journal (published January 7, 2026) confirms these details, noting the lawsuit accuses the company of discriminating against an employee with autism and retaliating after his disclosure and accommodation request.The case is assigned to Judge Julie A. Robinson, with referral to Magistrate Judge Rachel E. Schwartz. Plaintiff is represented by Brumley Law Office.This appears to be an active, ongoing federal civil rights case (nature of suit: 445 - Civil Rights: Americans with Disabilities - Employment). No major updates on resolution (e.g., settlement, dismissal, or trial date) are publicly available as of mid-January 2026, which is typical for cases filed so recently.It does underscore broader challenges in employment disability accommodation, particularly in healthcare-related organizations like Midwest Health, which operates assisted living and senior care facilities. If you're following this for professional, legal, or personal reasons, monitoring the PACER docket (or sites like PacerMonitor) would provide the most direct updates on filings and proceedings.If you'd like more details, such as checking for any new developments or related context, let me know!
