Reaction to Friday’s news confirming that Lawrence General Hospital would take over both the Methuen and Haverhill campuses of Holy Family Hospital generally brought praise and celebration.
Local, state and federal elected officials hailed word that Steward Health Care’s days in the Commonwealth are nearing an end following Gov. Maura T. Healey’s announcement.
“Lawrence General Hospital will purchase both hospital campuses of Holy Family in Haverhill and Methuen. We are grateful for their partnership and their commitment to not only maintaining the quality of care, but to improving the quality of care in these communities, and I am personally so grateful that these entities are now taking over as acquirers of these hospitals,” the governor said.
Shortly after Healey’s press conference, Lawrence General Hospital President and CEO Abha Agrawal expressed optimism in a statement.
“With support from the Commonwealth, we look forward to finalizing and signing an agreement that will allow Holy Family Hospital, both the Methuen and Haverhill campuses, to join Lawrence General Hospital to build a true regional healthcare care system in the Merrimack Valley.”
