Medical Properties Trust faces lawsuit from Steward
Steward Health Care, based in Dallas, Texas, filed a lawsuit against Birmingham-based Medical Properties Trust, its landlord, saying its efforts to sell its remaining hospitals have been disrupted. “MPT’s sales process interference and brinksmanship jeopardizes the future of dozens of hospitals, tens of thousands of jobs, and the safety of patients — not to mention wrongfully taking value from the estate,” Steward said in the lawsuit. Medical Properties Trust says it’s Steward that has prevented sales from going forward. – Becker’s Hospital Review
