Partners HealthCare changed its name to Mass General Brigham â but not its appetite for growth. It just repackaged it.
In recent years, the health care network formerly known as Partners was stopped from acquiring hospitals in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire. Today, Mass General Brigham wants to build outpatient surgery centers in Westborough, Westwood, and Woburn. With a new name and game plan, will its latest expansion wish be granted?
JOY BEHAR:
So senator, I m a big fan of yours. I think I ve told you that many times, and the decision to end your campaign was very painful for us, and for you because there was a point where you were leading in the polls, and we all thought that you could win. You say that 2020, you were new to losing. You were new to it because you re not a loser. You re a winner, and we know that, but that was a hard time for you, wasn t it?

SUNNY HOSTIN: Now senator, this book by the way was absolutely fantastic. It was very easy to read and just really wonderful, and you were so open and authentic in it, and you ve also openly talked about the role that gender plays in politics, even facing sexism yourself when you ran for president, and you write that you had to run against the shadows of Martha and Hilary, referring to the failed candidacy of Martha Coakley for Senate and Hillary Clinton for president.
