Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey has taken decisive action to ensure the continued operation of St. Elizabeth Medical Center in Boston by seizing the hospital through eminent domain. This move comes in response to the bankruptcy of Texas-based Steward Health Care, which operates the hospital.
The administration plans to transition operations of St. Elizabeth Medical Center to Boston Medical Center, safeguarding access to care for thousands of patients and preserving numerous jobs. Last month, the administration successfully secured new operators for five out of seven hospitals previously managed by Steward Health Care in Massachusetts.
