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.
