Rallies to save Steward Health Care hospitals kicks off in Taunton

TAUNTON — Groups and activists are taking to the streets to rally in support of saving Steward Health Care hospitals in Taunton, Brockton, Fall River and elsewhere amid the embattled company’s ongoing financial crisis.

Multiple community rallies will be taking place over the next couple of weeks across the region in support of keeping these hospitals open, starting with Taunton’s Morton Hospital. 

“We need a hospital in our city. We’ve already closed facilities elsewhere, and the overflow can’t be absorbed by others,” said Jamie Kelley, lead organizer for the Morton Hospital Community Rally.

When and where is the rally?

The rally, which will take place on Tuesday, April 23 from 3:45 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on the Taunton Green, is one of seven being organized by the “Our Community Our Hospital” campaign — a coalition of residents, healthcare workers and community, labor and faith-based organizations served by hospitals currently owned by Steward Health Care.
