Boston City Councilor John FitzGerald, a member of the Carney Hospital working group, speaks during a press conference about Question 5 on Monday, Oct. 21, 2024.
The working group tasked with responding to the loss of Carney Hospital in Dorchester is scheduled to hold its first meeting on Halloween, coming just over a month after Gov. Maura Healey's office announced the body, according to a Boston city councilor who repeatedly urged the administration to keep the facility open. City Councillor John FitzGerald, a member of the group, said he's looking forward to discussing future health care services that meet the needs of residents grappling with consequences of the abrupt closure. Mayor Michelle Wu and Council President Ruthzee Louijeune have said the Carney site — one of two hospitals that closed amid the Steward bankruptcy crisis — should serve as a health care facility again.
