from MHA President & CEO, Steve Walsh

“Today marks a new and hopefully brighter chapter for healthcare in Massachusetts.

“We know these systems are ready for the hard work ahead to restore stability to Steward’s former hospitals, coordinate with other local providers, and create a new legacy for the patients, workers, and communities they serve. We are hopeful that a final agreement for Good Samaritan and St. Elizabeth’s will follow soon, given Boston Medical Center’s extraordinary track record of service to local patients and communities.

“MHA and our members stand prepared to help support these transitions as one united healthcare system.”
