Attorney General Dave Sunday issued the following statement on the status of Crozer Health system, following a meeting Friday hosted by the Office of Attorney General:
“Today, all parties involved in developing a long-term solution to keep the Crozer Health system open and operational met for a meeting in Harrisburg. I am pleased to announce that an agreement was reached with The Foundation for Delaware County.
“Additionally, the Foundation will be engaged with the still-developing plans for Crozer’s restructuring — first under a receiver, FTI Consulting, and ultimately, its permanent non-profit owner. As for the efforts to solidify that permanent owner, we appreciate the good faith efforts of regional healthcare providers involved in ongoing discussions.
“I am encouraged that the parties, today, remained focused on preserving accessible healthcare for the Delaware County community and maintaining the workforce that provides that essential care.
“Present for today’s meeting were representatives from the Office of Attorney General, Governor’s Office/Office of General Counsel, The Foundation for Delaware County, a Patient Care Ombudsman, FTI Consulting, Prospect Medical, Delaware County, and the Unsecured Creditors Committee (UCC).
“We look forward to updating the bankruptcy court — which has ultimate approval authority over plans for Crozer — at our next hearing.
“There is much work to be done, but we will not stop fighting on behalf of Pennsylvanians.”
