Norwood Hospital and its four clinics are next on the Steward chopping block

The state hopes a new operator will take over the under-construction hospital and its associated facilities.

The bankrupt Steward Health Care has halted construction on Norwood Hospital and will close its four affiliated clinics in November, according to a notice filed in bankruptcy court on Monday.

The hospital has remained closed since flooding damaged it four years ago, and construction on the new facility stopped earlier this year when payments from Steward ended. The unfinished structure has been sitting idle since.

The hospital’s satellite campuses, which offer cancer treatments, radiology, and physical therapy, are still operating, but will close on Nov. 5, the same day its state license is set to expire.

The four campuses are Norwood Performance Therapy, Guild Imaging Center of Norwood Hospital, Norwood Hospital Cancer Care Center in Foxborough, and the hospital’s Foxborough site.

The notice says that most current outpatients will complete their treatment before the closure date. If necessary, the clinics will provide patients with information for replacement providers.
