Laying claim to one of the state’s largest remaining independent hospitals, Boston’s Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center said Thursday it signed a letter of intent to acquire Jordan Health Systems Inc., the parent of 155-bed Jordan Hospital in Plymouth.
Jordan Hospital, serving a dozen communities in Plymouth and Barnstable counties, had been considered a prize for a larger hospital system as the Massachusetts health care industry consolidates. The preliminary deal with Harvard-affiliated Beth Israel Deaconess is a setback to Tufts Medical Center, another Boston teaching hospital that has a clinical affiliation with Jordan and was working with for-profit Vanguard Health Systems to take over the Plymouth hospital.

The company that owns Steward is owned by Cerberus Capital Management, which is the very same company that owns the gun manufacturer who made the gun used in the Newtown children murders.
They make the guns...then treat the wounds.
If you live in Jordan's area your rates are about to skyrocket- that's what happens when a high priced downtown academic center takes over a community hospital and then strikes a deal with the physician group who has the highest rates in the state.
