The Louisiana Board of Medical Examiners has suspended the license of Dr. Kevin Govan Work for the second time since 2015. The Board deemed the allegations against Work serious enough to warrant "emergency action" and immediate suspension, rather than allow him to continue to practice during the proceedings. Dr. Work, a New Orleans abortionist, will not be able to practice until a formal investigation is completed.
"Emergency action is imperative to safeguard the public health, welfare and safety," the board said in a Feb. 26 notice.
The Washington Free Beacon was unable to contact Dr. Work. His old office lines at three separate locations in New Orleans have been disconnected. Emails sent to addresses associated with the doctor went unreturned.
A Board spokesman said that it does not comment on any pending investigations.
