Dallas-based Steward acquired Quincy Medical Center in 2011 and closed all but its emergency department in November 2014. Steward sold the building to FoxRock Properties in 2016 and signed a lease to operate the ED through 2021, with a clause that allowed for early termination, a Steward spokesperson told The Patriot Ledger.
Steward says it is being forced out of Quincy Medical Center, which FoxRock is using as part of a 465-unit apartment neighborhood, according to the report.
A Steward spokesperson told The Patriot Ledger that the health system hasn’t been able to secure a new space for the ED.
