A sense of relief as the Massachusetts Legislature acts on Norwood Hospital. Beacon Hill is taking the final steps on a plan which would allow the state to use eminent domain to seize the partially built property. The legislation “allows Medical Properties Trust to locate a qualified non-profit hospital operator; we’ll give them three months,” said Rogers. Maura Healey said she is "happy to support" Norwood Hospital legislation. Efforts to reopen flooded Norwood Hospital are picking up steam as state leaders work on new legislation amid frustration from locals.
