MEMBER MOMENTS: New Names for Former Steward Hospitals Now Owned by BMC


They’re no longer St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center or Good Samaritan Medical Center.
Those two hospitals, in Brighton and Brockton, respectively, which were formerly owned by the now-bankrupt Steward Health Care and purchased by Boston Medical Center Health system have new names reflecting their new owner – Boston Medical Center – Brighton and Boston Medical Center – South.
In everyday usage, the facilities will most likely be referred to as their parent company calls them– that is, BMC Brighton and BMC South.
When Steward collapsed, BMC stepped in to purchase the two hospitals. Lawrence General Hospital took over control of Steward’s Holy Family Hospitals in Haverhill and Methuen, and Rhode Island-based Brown University Health acquired Steward’s Morton Hospital in Taunton and Saint Anne’s Hospital in Fall River.
