The company is also facing pressure from federal officials. U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch said last week that Congress could issue subpoenas to compel Steward executives to share financial information.
Gov. Maura Healey on Monday increased the pressure on financially troubled Steward Health Care to sell its nine Massachusetts hospitals and leave the state, calling the for-profit company a"house of cards" and a"charade."
"Steward didn't produce audited financials because Steward doesn't have audited financials," Healey charged at a State House press conference Monday. She went on to speculate that Steward's finances are so bad"no auditor will sign off on their financial information." All Massachusetts hospital systems are required to share financial statements with state officials annually, but Steward executives have long sought to keep their numbers secret.
