It registered in Florida as a foreign company in 2017, moved its principal office from Boston to Dallas in 2018–2019 and to another Dallas address in 2025, and its Florida registration and those of its Florida subsidiaries were revoked for missing annual reports on September 25, 2026. ## Legal identity - Analysis: Steward Health Care System LLC is a Delaware limited liability company. The Delaware Secretary of State certified on April 3, 2017 that it was duly formed and in good standing under file number 4801236, and its Global LEI System record, LEI 549300HE8N6WUF4Q0O92, gives a creation date of March 18, 2010 with the same registration number, a legal address care of The Corporation Trust Company in Wilmington, Delaware, and full corroboration. The LEI was first registered on May 6, 2013, but its registration has been lapsed since the renewal due on May 6, 2014; the record was last updated on August 7, 2026. The debtors' July 2025 complaint describes Steward Health Care Holdings LLC as a Delaware limited liability company and Steward Health Care Network, Inc. as a Delaware corporation. [src-019] [src-007] [src-066] - Analysis: Its federal employer identification number, 27-2473240, appears in its May 6, 2024 Chapter 11 petition, in the Florida registry and in its July 15, 2022 notice to the Massachusetts Health Policy Commission about the planned sale of its Medicare value-based care business to CareMax, Inc. The petition, which lists no other names used in the previous eight years, gives its business as a health care business with NAICS code 6211 (offices of physicians) and its website as steward.org, and estimates the consolidated assets and liabilities each at $1,000,000,001 to $10 billion, with more than 100,000 creditors.

Pearl Street, Suite 2400, Dallas from the 2019 report, the address later given in the bankruptcy petition; and 2811 McKinney Ave, Dallas from May 1, 2025.
