Massachusetts Takes Over Norwood Hospital | Boston News

Massachusetts is seizing Norwood Hospital via eminent domain to revive healthcare access after six years of closure, with Governor Healey blaming Steward Health Care’s greed and mismanagement for the stalled construction and abandoned facility. The new law, effective November 1, empowers the state to take the property from owner Medical Properties Trust and hand it over to a qualified nonprofit to complete or reopen the hospital — potentially finishing the unfinished building. While MPT insists they’ve invested hundreds of millions and can reopen fastest on their own, the state is ready to step in if they fail to act. The community now watches as the path to a functional hospital takes shape. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
