A judge has approved the sale of six hospitals in Massachusetts owned by bankrupt Steward Health Care. 

The bankruptcy judge in Texas ruled that Boston Medical Center can buy St. Elizabeth's Medical Center in Brighton and Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brockton. 

Rhode Island based Lifespan is allowed to purchase St. Anne's in Fall River and Morton Hospital in Taunton. 

Lawrence General Hospital now can buy Holy Family hospitals in Methuen and Haverhill. 

Steward hospitals in Dorchester and Ayer closed last weekend after no buyer was found.
