Crozer Health is set to shut down its operations following months of efforts to save the struggling company. The closure will affect Crozer-Chester Medical Center in Upland and Taylor Hospital in Ridley Park, with both facilities potentially closing within weeks. According to a bankruptcy filing by Crozer Health’s owner, Prospect Medical Holdings, the shutdown could occur as early as May 2, 2025. Despite significant financial investments aimed at keeping the hospitals operational, the decision has left patients and employees in uncertainty. The move has sparked outrage among local officials and community members, who argue that the hospital system is vital for the region’s healthcare needs. A detailed timeline for the closure has been outlined, including the cessation of various services and the transfer of patients to other healthcare facilities.
