Press Release

Date: Sept. 19, 2024
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Health and Health Care Criminal Justice

“The Committee sought testimony about the financial decisions made by Dr. de la Torre as CEO of Steward Health Care. It is essential for our Committee to receive this testimony in order to understand the financial downfall of the company and to inform legislative action to prevent similar events from affecting the patients and communities we represent. Unfortunately, Dr. de la Torre has repeatedly refused to appear before this committee. If you defy a Congressional subpoena, you will be held accountable. We had no choice but to move forward with both civil enforcement of the subpoena and criminal charges against Dr. de la Torre.”
