The announcement was made as the six-hospital health system negotiated a new contract with the Massachusetts Nurses Association. Caritas Christi said the closures would be required to gain control of financial losses. The health system asked the nurses to accept a wage freeze, but no agreement has been reached.
Cerberus Capital and non-profit Caritas Christi announced their deal in March. They are currently awaiting a recommendation from Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley on the deal.
