Massachusetts Secures Deals to Keep Six Hospitals Open

Governor Healey announces state intervention to maintain healthcare services amid Steward Health Care's bankruptcy.

The state will take control of St. Elizabeth's Medical Center through eminent domain to facilitate its transition to a new owner.
Boston Medical Center, Lawrence General Hospital, and Lifespan Health Systems will operate the remaining hospitals.
Two hospitals, Carney Hospital and Nashoba Valley Medical Center, will still close by the end of August.
Massachusetts will provide $30 million in bridge financing to support hospital operations during the transition.
Steward Health Care filed for bankruptcy on May 6, leading to the sale of its assets.
