On Wednesday, ChristianaCare announced they will purchase the shuttered hospital from Tower Health, with the official closing within the next 30 to 60 days.
Tower Health closed the Jennersville and Brandywine Hospitals due to financial trouble and a failed deal with a new buyer. This left Chester County Hospital as the only option for residents in the county.
Local leaders expressed concern that the closures would be devastating to the community and Chester County Hospital considered setting up a modular emergency room in its parking lot to help keep up with the demand previously covered by the other two hospitals.
