Court records paint dire financial picture of Steward’s Brevard hospitals – By Tyler Vazquez (Florida Today) / March 3, 2024
Steward Health Care System, which owns hospitals in Melbourne and Rockledge, is in trouble.
Across the country, hospitals owned by Steward are under fire. In each case, the story is largely the same as the for-profit company leaves bills unpaid and goes silent when pressed by public officials.
The company is up to its ears in lawsuits in its home state of Massachusetts where it has $50 million in outstanding bills and is being sued by multiple vendors. Officials are trying to force the company to stop operating in the state.
The Brevard hospitals have not been immune as several local companies are suing Steward over unpaid bills.
