Gov. Maura Healey said Thursday she is pressing Steward Health Care to adhere to a state Department of Public Health regulation that hospital owners must give 120 days notice before any medical facility can close in Massachusetts.
“I’ve been clear with Steward, they need to stay open for 120 days. We need to have a smooth transition. Steward made the call to close those two hospitals,” Healey told reporters. “We have been hard at work looking to secure a deal that will ensure a smooth transition of ownership away from Steward to a responsible operator."
“And the lenders have got to break the leases. We've got to break the leases. It's ridiculous we're in this situation because of the greed of Steward andHealey was referring to lease payments Steward owes after selling their hospitals' physical properties — including land and buildings — to another company.
