Delaware County Council has ensured that “ambulance coverage is intact and operational” following the collapse of Crozer Health.

It is unclear when either deal will be finalized. If a sale falls through, Prospect Medical Holdings is allowed to abandon the property.

Springfield’s solicitor said that word of a possible abandonment came as a “total surprise.”

Prospect Medical Holdings is selling real estate from the shuttered hospitals, with a possible auction if enough bids come in, court documents show.

Delaware County lawmakers sent a letter to Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday, asking him to “leave no stone unturned in holding” Crozer Health’s owner accountable.

The imminent breakdown of Crozer Health, Delaware County’s largest health system, is leaving many communities without proper ambulance coverage.

With Crozer Health shuttering, key behavioral health services will be eliminated as early as Monday.

Crozer Health’s bankrupt parent company, Prospect Medical Holdings, says it will cost $20 to $30 million to close the two hospitals.
