Tentative deals have been reached to transition four hospitals run by Steward Health Care to new owners while Carney and Nashoba Valley remain on their paths to closure, and the state will take over St. Elizabeth’s in Brighton, Gov. Maura Healey’s administration announced Friday.

Healey said “deals in principle” have been reached on transitioning Saint Anne’s Hospital in Fall River, Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brockton, Holy Family Hospitals in Methuen and Haverhill, and Morton Hospital in Taunton to new owners.

State officials will take control of Saint Elizabeth’s Medical Center in Brighton through eminent domain “to facilitate the transition to a new owner and keep the hospital open,” Healey’s administration said.

Healey said her administration worked to find “responsible, qualified” hospital operators.

“Today, we are taking steps to save and keep operating the five remaining Steward Hospitals, protecting access to care in those communities and preserving the jobs of the hard-working women and men who work at those hospitals,” Healey said in a statement.

Boston Medical Center would take over Good Samaritan as well as Saint Elizabeth’s “once the taking process is complete,” according to the Healey administration.

Healey said state officials and the Legislature developed a financing plan to support the new owners that “includes cash advances, capital support and maximizing federal matches.”

Carney and Nashoba Valley hospitals are still scheduled to close because they did not receive “qualified bids,” Healey said.

Healey, Health and Human Services Secretary Kate Walsh and Public Health Commissioner Robbie Goldstein scheduled a 1 p.m. press conference to discuss the deals.
