Governor Maura Healey's Office says deals in principle have been reached to save four Steward Health Care hospitals in Massachusetts.
If the deals are finalized, Saint Anne's Hospital in Fall River, Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brockton, Holy Family Hospital in Methuen, Saint Elizabeth's in Boston Brighton neighborhood and Morton Hospital in Taunton will transition to new operators.
Rhode Island's Lifespan will now run Saint Anne’s Hospital in Fall River and Morton Hospital in Taunton.
However, Carney Hospital in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood and Nashoba Valley Center in Ayer will still close at the end of this month.
Steward Health Care filed for bankruptcy in May.
