An Austin lawyer has sued her former employer, alleging she was “terminated” for trying to implement policies to ensure compliance with laws on distributing home-baked goods and on health-care privacy and confidentiality.

Erin M. Gilmer says she was the director of clinic and hospital programs, a non-attorney position, at Austin-based Cancer Connection, and she loved working there. She volunteered at Cancer Connection, which organizes volunteers to support cancer patients in oncology centers and hospitals, for a year before she became an employee, she says.
