Crozer Health staying open for now; owners working toward long-term solution

UPLAND, Pa. (WPVI) -- Crozer Health and Taylor Hospitals will stay open for at least another week to ten days, thanks to a financial gift from Penn and Delaware County.

Attorneys for Prospect Medical Holdings, which owns the hospitals, made that revelation in bankruptcy court on Thursday.

Penn is donating $5 million and Delaware County will give $1 million to keep the hospitals operating.

Earlier this week, the company announced it would shut down this week in the absence of a $9 million cash infusion.

We also learned that while OBGYN services at Crozer are transitioning, sources say those services will still be available at the hospital. Patients won't need to go elsewhere.

Attorneys for Prospect said they do not want to close the hospitals and are still working on a long-term solution.
