“What Steward must do from this point forward is clear – complete an orderly transition out of Massachusetts,” a spokesperson said.
Gov. Maura Healey is reigniting calls for Steward Health Care — the troubled operator of nine area hospitals — to leave Massachusetts after the Dallas-based company did not comply with the state’s request to release their audited financial documents.
A spokesperson for the governor confirmed that Steward did not comply with the deadline to release the documents — which the state said have been illegally obscured for years.
“The financial information that Steward provided this week continues to be incomplete and insufficient. What Steward must do from this point forward is clear – complete an orderly transition out of Massachusetts,” spokesperson Karissa Hand said.
Earlier this year, Steward’s financial situation became a cause for concern after the company, blaming the pandemic and low payout rates from federal healthcare, said care across their nine hospitals could be jeopardized.
