Legislation years in the making, finally signed by Gov. Maura Healey on Friday.

“...bottom line, we want to see a hospital reopen here!” Healey said in a press conference across from the hospital.

It gives the state the power to seize the Norwood Hospital via eminent domain and officially puts the current landlord, Medical Properties Trust, on notice.
