Gov. Healey’s plan to seize the St. Elizabeth's Medical Center in Brighton and arrange for its transfer to Boston Medical Center will come under more intense scrutiny in coming days as lawmakers —most of them staunch allies of Healey’s— continue to call for her to take similar steps to save Carney Hospital.
Healey has said her decision to take control of the St. Elizabeth’s campus hinged on the willingness of Boston Medical Center (BMC) to operate the hospital. Healey disclosed on Friday that BMC would also step in to buy and operate Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brockton.
The announcement left many puzzled as to why BMC— a Boston-based health network— would choose not to step in to operate Carney, a critical community hospital in Boston’s largest neighborhood.
