Steward Waiting to File for State Approval of Landmark Medical Center But Still Committed to Acquisition

A Superior Court judge approved the deal three months ago. Meanwhile, Landmark continues to struggle financially and has been under court supervision since 2008, when it became insolvent, according to the report.

Steward recently loaned the hospital $1 million in advance of the merger to keep it operational, which the system says shows its commitment to the deal.
