While working in these hospitals, Farmer had severe allergic reactions to airborne latex particles, which ended up limiting her ability to work in certain parts of the hospital and sometimes required her to work from home. In April of 2010, Farmer was transferred to a regional medical center that had been designated as a latex safe facility and she had no allergic reactions. But then in 2015, Farmer applied for and was offered a position in a certain department at Henrico Doctors’ Hospital. She was offered the job, subject to a pre-employment background investigation and health assessment. During her health assessment, her latex allergy was revealed. The hospital’s Director of Employee Health and Safety made the decision to rescind the job offer based on the allergy.
