BOSTON, Mass. (WLNE) — The sale of six Steward Hospitals is set to take effect today. According to ABC6’s affiliate WCVB, a hearing conducted by a federal bankruptcy court judge in Texas offered new insights into the high-pressure negotiations of the sales. The judge hinted that Massachusetts could be required to put up millions of dollars more to make the deals happen. The sales include Lifespan’s purchase of Morton Hospital in Taunton, and Saint Anne’s in Fall River.  Gov. Maura Healey officially seized St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center in Brighton. Categories: News
