Medical Properties Trust, one of the world's largest hospital real estate owners and landlord to Dallas-based Steward Health Care, approved $75 million in debtor-in-possession financing for the health system after it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.The landlord expects Steward to use the funding to ensure patient care continues while it 'accelerates the re-tenanting of hospitals to new operators,' according to a May 6 Medical Properties Trust news release.'Steward Health Care has done everything in its power to operate successfully in a highly challenging healthcare environment,' Ralph de la Torre, MD, CEO of Steward, said in a May 6 health system news release.

医疗财产信托公司是世界上最大的医院房地产所有者之一，也是总部位于达拉斯的斯图尔特医疗保健公司（StewardHealth Care）的房东。该公司在申请第11章破产后，批准了7500万美元的债务占有融资。据5月6日医疗财产信托基金（Medical Properties Trust）的新闻稿称，房东希望管家利用这笔资金确保病人护理继续进行，同时“加速医院向新运营商的重新租赁”Steward首席执行官拉尔夫·德拉托瑞（RalphDeLaTorre）医学博士在5月6日的卫生系统新闻稿中表示，Steward Health Care尽其所能在极具挑战性的医疗环境中成功运作。

'Filing for Chapter 11 restructuring is in the best interests of our patients, physicians, employees and communities at this time.'The decision came after the for-profit, 30-hospital health system had been battling financial troubles for months and was $50 million behind on year-end rent to Medical Properties Trust.Steward said in its release that it could receive up to another $225 million from Medical Properties Trust should it meet specific conditions.

“目前，申请第11章重组符合我们患者、医生、员工和社区的最大利益。”这一决定是在这家营利性的30家医院的医疗保健系统数月来一直在与财务问题作斗争，并且在向医疗财产信托支付年终租金方面落后5000万美元之后作出的。Steward在其发布的声明中表示，如果符合特定条件，它可能会从医疗财产信托基金（Medical Properties Trust）获得至多2.25亿美元。

However, Medical Properties Trust has 'not committed to providing additional funding' beyond the $75 million, according to its own release.Terms for any debtor-in-possession financing are subject to bankruptcy court approval, the Medical Properties release said. Becker's has reached out to Steward for comment and will update this story should more information become available. .

然而，据其自己发布的消息，医疗财产信托基金“没有承诺提供超过7500万美元的额外资金”。《医疗财产公告》称，任何债务人持有融资的条款均须经破产法院批准。贝克尔已经联系斯图尔特征求意见，如果有更多信息，他将更新这篇报道。。
