In June, Tenet Healthcare signed a definitive agreement to sell the five hospitals located in the Miami-Dade and Southern Broward counties to Steward Health Care System. At the time of announcement, the transaction valued around $1.1bn.
The five locations are North Shore Medical Center, Coral Gables Hospital, Hialeah Hospital, and Palmetto General Hospital in Miami-Dade County, and Florida Medical Center in Broward County.
However, Tenet’s ambulatory facilities in these markets are not included in the transaction.
Steward Health Care CEO Dr Ralph de la Torre said: “Steward Health Care takes a physician’s approach to patient care. Everything we do is about improving our patients’ well-being, which requires not only tailoring care to each patient, but also learning from and engaging with every community we serve.

The five hospitals will be overseen by Steward North America president Dr Sanjay Shetty.
Dr Shetty said: “As a physician-led hospital system, we are committed to providing all our patients with access to critical supplies and treatments, and we will work hard to build trust and ensure the best possible outcomes by listening to and learning from our partners in South Florida.”
