The Massachusetts Department of Public Health and Boston Public Health Commission are not planning on taking over Carney Hospital. 

That is what state officials told dozens of Carney employees of the Dorchester hospital at a community meeting yesterday.  It was the group's "last ditch effort" to save the hospital that is due to close at the end of the month. 

Days ago, Boston City Council voted to request the Public Health Commission declare a state of emergency to help delay the closure, but it doesn't appear to have worked.
