Steward health care → Steward Health Care System Fix capitalization and use the full name – Eastmain (talk • contribs) 10:59, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - This is confusing. The page has already been renamed to Steward Health Care System; is the request to rename it as Steward Health Care, or am I reading the RM page improperly? -GTBacchus^(talk) 01:58, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Hospice section reads like an advertisement

That's it... it just sounds like a marketing person for the organization wrote it. Says how great the quality of care is, talks about generic hospice philosophy... could have been copied and pasted from a promotional brochure.

Conflict of interest

The following anonymous editor - 198.89.65.85 - is owned by stewart healthcare. Please be on the lookout for conflict of interest postings to this artice or other stewart related articles from this IP or other anon IP's. -Tracer9999 (talk) 19:59, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest

The user shcare2 is obviously an account by Steward Health Care. After posting some accurate information which they did not like, they removed my edit. The whole page sounds like an advert! Admins do something about it. Andvass (talk) 06:50, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Big overhaul

Currently working on overhauling this page. I think most of the conflict-of-interest content is now taken care of (though the page is still subject to occasional suspect edits). My focus has been mostly on Massachusetts in light of the recent issues there, however I look forward to expanding upon their operations in other states and countries soon. Planning on improving citations as well, and want to rework the table in the "hospitals" section too. Mangocove (talk) 00:20, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Next up is citations. Going to go through and make sure all references are accessible, archived, and formatted properly, including my own. Mangocove (talk) 17:37, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Malta

The Malta ordeal is a whopper, and it is difficult for me as someone unfamiliar with financial administration to comb through and understand the deluge of information from all sides. Steward sometime in the past month appears to have taken down their English-language International site, however I just discovered archives of web pages they authored in their defense. Would be worth going through if someone can understand it. https://web.archive.org/web/20240228093307/https://www.stewardinternational.org/steward-malta-financials/ Mangocove (talk) 19:49, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sale of hospitals

By Bloomberg, Wadley Regional Medical Center in Hope, Arkansas will be sold to Pafford Health Systems and Glenwood Regional Medical Center in in West Monroe, Louisiana to be sold to an affiliate of American Healthcare Systems.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-22/bankrupt-steward-health-finds-buyers-for-two-hospitals-amid-senate-probe Catfurball (talk) 16:15, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

By Vero News, HCA Healthcare and AdventHealth are interested in bidding for the Steward Health Care hospitals on the east coast. Especially AdventHealth who has been trying to acquire these hospitals since the fall of 2023.https://veronews.com/2024/08/23/potential-buyer-opens-bidding-for-sebastian-hospital/ Catfurball (talk) 22:59, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I've just added these. Mangocove (talk) 16:28, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mangocove: By Miami Herald, Healthcare Systems of America will be purchasing the five south Florida hospitals from Steward Health Care. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/health-care/article294556534.html Catfurball (talk) 17:45, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pre-Steward section

Much of this section should be moved to Caritas Christi Health Care, which is a start class and very incomplete. Catfurball (talk) 17:23, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I tried to include just enough info in that section to provide context for Steward's creation. Expanding the Caritas article is also on my to-do list, I'm collecting references over time for an expansion of that one. Mangocove (talk) 17:57, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mistake

@Mangocove: Oops you made a mistake, oh well, we all do that sometimes when we edit. Catfurball (talk) 23:42, 6 August 2024 (UTC) This article still has a Cite error at the bottom of the page that says NPR_210927, if it is not fixed by someone, the good article request will be rejected. Catfurball (talk) 23:23, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for pointing that out! I just fixed it. Mangocove (talk) 23:33, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Steward Health Care System → Steward Health Care – The website of this hospital network does not use system in its name. And another reason for the change, all of the articles that I have looked at due not use system either. Catfurball (talk) 16:45, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I fully support this. Throughout my extensive research into this company, "System" is seldom used at the end except when the writer is using it as a clarifier. Mangocove (talk) 18:08, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

@Mangocove: You forgot to add this important information to the article. Catfurball (talk) 16:47, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I'll be adding that soon Mangocove (talk) 17:31, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And done! Thank you again. Mangocove (talk) 22:04, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
