(ET) -- Bankruptcy Court in Houston to hold a hearing to Approve Sale of Six Hospitals, with the fate of one of those hospitals, Holy Family Hospital in Haverhill , placed in doubt. The hearing scheduled before Judge Christopher Lopez is to review and approve asset purchase agreements negotiated between Steward Healthcare, their lender and the Commonwealth, which will make public the qualified bidders and potential new operators for Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brockton, Morton Hospital in Taunton , St. Anne's Hospital in Fall River and St.
Elizabeth's Medical Center in Brighton. Until last week, all indications were there would also be a qualified bid and agreement with the state for the purchase and operation of both Holy Family Hospital in Methuen and Holy Family Hospital in Haverhill (which are covered under a single license). On Friday, information surfaced that the bidder for those two facilities altered its bid to exclude Holy Family Haverhill , which would leave another community without a hospital, one that serves a population of more than 67,000 residents.
