Crozer Health Update: Closure Motion Hearing Scheduled for Thursday

(Apr 08, 2025)

This afternoon, the bankruptcy judge in Texas held a status hearing on the Crozer Health System and it was full of bad news for Delaware County. Prospect Medical Holding’s lawyers opened by telling the judge that there is no Asset Purchase Agreement (sale) ready to put before the judge today and if they didn’t receive $9M by 4pm tomorrow to keep the hospital open for two more weeks, they planned to begin closure proceedings tomorrow. When the judge pressed them for more details about the closure plan, they said they would go on diversion on Thursday, start transferring patients to other hospitals, and close the hospitals within two weeks. This latest shakeup comes after the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Delaware County, and the Foundation for Delaware County put in a total of $40M over the last two months in an effort to avoid a closure, funding the Receiver’s account to make payroll at the request of the Attorney General’s office. Prospect told the judge they want the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to put up the $9M, but there’s no guarantee that we won’t be right back in this same position in two weeks’ time, and we’re tired of them asking for taxpayer bailouts. My sources have told me that negotiations on the Asset Purchase Agreement had been proceeding in a positive manner but Prospect threw a wrench in the negotiations over the weekend and they appear to have blown up all the progress made towards a sale with unreasonable demands yet again.
