Crozer Health, Delaware County’s largest hospital system, is on the verge of shutting down as its owner, Prospect Medical Holdings, informed a judge that they needed $9 million by 4 p.m. on Wednesday to avoid closure. Negotiations have been ongoing to keep Crozer Chester Medical Center and Taylor Hospital open, but the future remains uncertain. Despite the efforts, officials are not optimistic about the outcome.
State Representative Leanne Krueger expressed doubts about finding a resolution, stating that Prospect Medical Holdings appeared before a Texas Bankruptcy court and requested the funds to prevent closure. Without the necessary funds, the hospitals may begin closure proceedings.
The potential closure of Crozer Health could lead to job losses, a lack of available medical treatment, and strain on other hospitals in the area. Residents are urged to stay updated by calling (484) 276-2100 for news and guidance on local healthcare resources.
A private meeting between the parties is scheduled for Wednesday, with a public hearing set for Thursday. The fate of Crozer Health hangs in the balance as officials work to secure funding and find a solution to keep the hospitals operational.
