AG urges change of course for Caritas
Caritas St. Elizabeth's Medical Center in Brighton should abandon its role as a top-level academic hospital treating complex cases, and Caritas Carney Hospital in Dorchester should consider becoming a mental health center, says a report on the Archdiocese of Boston's hospital chain by Attorney General Martha Coakley. The report, based on a four-month study, also urges the archdiocese to cede control of the operation of Caritas Christi Health Care System so that an independent board with expertise in healthcare management can run it. The board now answers to Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley. The report is a stern indictment of the church's ability to run the six-hospital chain in an increasingly competitive healthcare environment. "Unless they change course, they will continue to fall behind," Coakley said in an interview.
