.HHSgov was considering denying Oklahoma's St. Francis Health System accreditation for keeping a candle lit in hospital sanctuaries after an accreditation review determined it was a fire risk. HHS has now dropped its accreditation ultimatum.
In response, the health system partnered with the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty to threaten a lawsuit on First Amendment religious liberty grounds.
According to St. Francis, which operates the 12th-largest hospital in the country and the largest hospital in the Sooner State, eternal flames have remained lit in its institutions for as long as 63 years without a problem from the federal government.
