from President & CEO Steve Walsh

“MHA and our members commend the Healey-Driscoll Administration for its advocacy and action to protect Massachusetts’ healthcare system. We are highly encouraged to see that trusted health systems are on track to take over Steward’s Massachusetts hospitals and have every confidence in their ability to restore normalcy, build upon relationships with patients and caregivers, and create a new legacy for these hospitals moving forward. In turn, we are hopeful that this process will help alleviate the pressures being felt by other healthcare facilities and give Massachusetts a unique opportunity to create an even more responsive system of the future. MHA and our members will be doing everything in our power to help facilitate a safe and efficient transition of these hospitals when the time comes.”
