The state Department of Public Health, taking note of Steward Health Care’s intention to close the Carney Hospital later this month, has scheduled a pair of public hearings on the matter, one in person and one remotely, on consecutive days next week.

The first will be held at Florian Hall on Tuesday (Aug. 13) at 6 p.m. ; the second, on Wednesday at 6 p.m., will be open to the public virtually by conference call at phone number 888-917-8055, passcode 4153805.

DPH notes that the hearings will not involve “adjudicatory” action on its part. They are meant to be “public forums for the presentation of any comments that may be relevant to the department’s consideration of the proposed change” by Steward.

The DPH says it will also accept written testimony on the Carney matter. Send correspondence to HFLLicenseAction@Mass.gov. Comments will be accepted up to midnight on Aug. 14, according to the DPH.
