The state of Massachusetts has brokered an agreement to keep five hospitals owned by Steward Health Care open while the struggling health system undergoes bankruptcy, the governor’s office announced Friday. The operations of Saint Anne’s Hospital, Good Samaritan Medical Center, Morton Hospital and Holy Family Hospitals will be taken over by third parties when deals are made final. Meanwhile, Gov.

The divestitures, when completed, will effectively end Steward’s presence in Massachusetts.
