Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday announced that a solution was reached in order to keep Crozer Health System open.

Pennsylvania's Attorney General announced on Friday that a long-term solution has been reached in the case of Crozer Health System, but no other details were provided.

Attorney General Dave Sunday said "all parties involed in developing a long-term solution to keep Crozer Health System open and operational" met on March 21 in Harrisburg.

Sunday also said an agreement was reached with the Foundation of Delaware County which focuses on community health.

This comes just weeks after Prospect Medical Holdings — which owns Crozer Health — told a bankruptcy court it intends to close both the Crozer-Chester Medical Center in Chester and Taylor Hospital in Ridley Park.

Officials said Prospect had told a judge in Texas on the morning of Thursday, March 6, 2025, that there was only enough money to keep the hospitals open until March 14.

Prospect — a for-profit company that bought Crozer in 2016 — had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy back in January. Shortly after that, it was placed in receivership while state and local officials tried to find a way to keep it open.

Sunday had sued Prospect late last year, accusing the company of neglect and mismanagement of Crozer Health.

NBC10 reached out to the Attorney General's Office for more details and are waiting to hear back.
