The addition of Steward’s 11 hospitals to the Minuteman Health provider network is effective immediately and the physicians will be listed on the Massachusetts Health Connector website by mid‐October.

“We are pleased to add the Steward family of physicians and hospitals to our members,” said Thomas Policelli, Minuteman’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our member‐governed plan is dedicated to providing excellent care throughout the region at an affordable price; having Steward in the network is a strong addition.
