by The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Delaware County have already contributed an infusion of $ 20 million in cash to keep the two hospitals open, while Prospect protects a new buyer.
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro has described prospected prospect and the Foundation for Delaware County because they have not done enough to find a long -term solution. Shapiro spoke on Thursday at a non -related press conference in Philadelphia.
‘[Prospect’s] Managers earn money and they fuck people in Delco and screws Pennsylvanians. That is unacceptable, “said Shapiro. “And this foundation is on a lot of money that could help to offer health care in Delaware County, and they do nothing with that money to actually help people.”
Frances Sheehan, president of the foundation, told Whyy News that she is at Crozer’s Staf who “started by the decimation of the Prospect system.” She said that the entire community is the victim of the business practices of prospect.
“We are the largest supplier of mother health services in this province,” said Sheehan. “Our housing services, our maternal health services, our nutrition services for women and children – they are all in danger. The subsidies that we provide to non -profit organizations in the community are all the risk of liability of $ 30 million [Prospect is] Leaving us and running even more risk when the survival of the foundation is questioning. “
Shapiro also took a chance on other health care systems in the area.
“Penn [Medicine] Must do more, main line [Health] Must do more. They will have to bear the burden of where these patients go when the prospect actually cut off, “he said. “Instead of landing this problem in front of their door, they must be in the affirmative and error.”
The Governor said that his office will continue to work closely with the office of the Attorney General, which supervises FTI consulting as Crozer’s Court’s Court-Adjuster.
“We didn’t leave,” said Peggy Malone Peggy Malone of Crozer-CCC-Chester Association in the press in Delco. “We have remained the course and we will remain the course and they will not close these doors. This is our hospital. These are our people. “
