Pennsylvania Statutes Title 35 P.S. Health and Safety § 448.816. Actions against unlicensed health care providers

(a) Actions in equity.--Whenever a license is required by this chapter to maintain or operate a health care facility, the department may maintain an action in the name of the Commonwealth for an injunction or other process restraining or prohibiting any person from establishing, conducting or operating any unlicensed health care facility.

(b) Permanent injunction.--Should a person who is refused a license or the renewal of a license to operate or conduct a health care facility, or whose license to operate or conduct a health care facility is suspended or revoked, fail to appeal, or should such appeal be decided finally favorable to the department, then the court shall issue a permanent injunction upon proof that the person is operating or conducting a health care facility without a license as required by this chapter.
