Crozer-Chester Medical Center Bankruptcy Proceedings

Rep. Leanne Krueger January 21, 2025

Jan. 21, 2025

I am grateful to the local medical professionals and patients who have reached out to me or my office to share their experiences on the ground at Crozer-Chester Medical Center since Prospect Medical Holdings, Inc. filed for bankruptcy ten days ago. My staff and I are tracking every call and email we get and escalating the most serious concerns directly to the Governor’s Office and the Attorney General’s Office. Please continue to reach out to share your experiences – I can be a better advocate when I get reports from the people who are on the ground.

This morning I was on another briefing call with the Governor’s Office and Attorney General’s Office. The Attorney General’s Office is currently in court fighting to get Crozer-Chester Medical Center turned over to a temporary receiver, which is similar to the litigation they filed in October, but they now have to argue the case in bankruptcy court in Texas because that is where Prospect decided to file for bankruptcy. We all share the goal of getting control out of Prospect’s hands so the hospital can be converted back to a non-profit system where decisions are not being made by private equity executives who only care about maximizing their profits. I will continue to keep you apprised of what is happening with Crozer through this weekly email.

In the meantime, anyone who has a question about the bankruptcy proceedings and impact on current health care services can call the Delaware County Health Department Wellness Line at 484-276-2100.
