"Over the past decade, Massachusetts witnessed the slow and painful death of its largest hospital chain. A few months ago, the Commonwealth finally laid it to rest, leaving a massive vacuum of care in its wake."
"In healthcare, two miles can mean life or death. A few months ago, Stephen Wood, a nurse practitioner in Dorchester's Carney Hospital emergency department, saw a patient in critical condition. '[She] never would have made it past our hospital,' he says."
"The decision to close Carney shocked local residents as well as employees, and will lead to an exodus of healthcare workers from Dorchester, Wood explains. 'The services that our hospital provided, they're all going away, and they're going to different communities.'"
"We were literally just pulled into a room. Not by any administrators, not by anyone from Steward in an executive position. We were told by a colleague."
