Chester County officials said Friday that they were "disappointed" that the deal could not be finalized.

"Brandywine Hospital property did not meet Penn Medicine's requirements, but we are excited that Penn Medicine remains committed to bringing emergency and acute care back to the Coatesville area, as well as expanding care for veterans through the agreement with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs," Chester County commissioners Josh Maxwell, Marian Moskowitz and Eric Row said in a statement. "We will continue to support Penn Medicine's plans as they seek an alternative location to provide the best healthcare facility for Chester County residents and veterans."
