Senate committee to vote to hold Steward Health Care CEO in contempt
SUMMARY: A committee is investigating Steward Health, a troubled hospital chain with facilities in Houston, as its CEO, Dr. Ralph de Lorre, failed to appear despite a subpoena. Testimonies from medical workers and officials revealed the negative impact of the company’s practices, including a bankruptcy earlier this year and unpaid vendor bills leading to shortages of critical supplies. Disturbingly, nurses reported having to use cardboard boxes to store remains due to inadequate resources. Between 2010 and 2021, Steward acquired over 30 hospitals across nine states, while the CEO reportedly spent millions on luxury items, including jets and a yacht.
Texas-based Steward Health Care operated about 30 hospitals nationwide and filed for bankruptcy in May.
