New Chapter for Health Care in Massachusetts to Begin with Steward’s Exit

Press Release

“Today, these hospitals are freed from Steward’s greed and mismanagement, and start fresh with established, reputable and local operators. They are ready to not only keep these hospitals going, but to enhance the care they provide and strengthen the communities that depend on them. We started this process under the threat of losing seven hospitals, but thanks to the dedicated leadership of Secretary Kate Walsh, Commissioner Robbie Goldstein, our partners in the Legislature and labor, we’ve saved access to health care for hundreds of thousands of patients and saved 13,000 jobs. Now, we will continue to work with our partners to improve care and access at these hospitals and support the communities who have been impacted by the closures of Nashoba Valley Medical Center and Carney hospital.”
