On Wednesday, I joined nurses, paramedics, social workers and Pennsylvania Association of Staff Nurses & Allied Professionals in front of Crozer Chester Medical Center to fight for essential health care services for Delco.

Prospect, the hedge fund out of California that owns Crozer, is threatening to cut EMS services, behavioral health and drug and alcohol services because they claim they’re not profitable enough. These cuts will cost lives and I’ve been working with elected officials at all levels to fight back. Crozer/Prospect is negotiating a sale of the whole system to Christiana Care in Delaware, but details are not yet public.
