More details to this question:
My wife is 3 months pregnant. She has experienced some complications that have caused us to go to the hospital and doctors office multiple times. The Doctor told her that she needs to go on bedrest indefinitely until the uterus heals. He has provided letters weekly for her work. Today (11/16/2022), she received a call from the director of the hospital; in which the director said, 'HR cannot offer any type of leave and their only option is for her to resign and then re apply when she is ready to come back.'

I'm sorry to hear what the hospital is doing, and wish you well on the baby!
This appears to be an Employment Law matter, however, if your wife was injured on the job, this may be a Workers' Compensation matter, as you have selected.
Seek consultation asap with an attorney of the appropriate specialty or both.
