Working to support Crozer staff and patients

I have been closely monitoring the situation at Crozer-Chester Medical Center and am working closely with all parties involved, including the offices of Gov. Josh Shapiro and Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday, to prevent a disorderly closure. We are working hard to support the dedicated staff who continue providing care to our community under very challenging conditions. I also want to make sure that you are informed of what’s happening.

Yesterday Delaware County Court of Common Pleas Judge George Pagano signed an order officially appointing FTI Consulting Inc. as the receiver to take control of the operations of Prospect Medical Holdings and Prospect Crozer LLC for a period of 30 days, retroactive to Feb. 14. While the receivership was approved by a Texas bankruptcy judge earlier this month, this official order was necessary to empower the Receiver and move the process forward.

Over the 30-day period, until March 16, FTI Consulting (the Receiver) will be evaluating the hospital system’s financial condition and the needs of the system moving forward. There is a chance that this 30-day period could be extended by a judge because there is an awful lot of information for the Receiver to unravel.

The Receiver will use $10.2 million previously committed by Gov. Shapiro and $9.8 million committed from Delaware County via the Human Services Block Grant to keep operations going at Crozer-Chester Medical Center during this period of time.

I will continue to keep you updated on this important issue in our community.
