The Pennsylvania Medical Society (PAMED) stands in unwavering solidarity with the physicians, health care workers, and communities impacted by the closure of Crozer Health facilities in Philadelphia and Delaware County. This outcome, which affects thousands of dedicated professionals and countless patients, marks a profound loss for our health care system and the communities it serves.
To the physicians and health care workers of Crozer Health: your dedication and resilience in the face of adversity are deeply admired.
PAMED is here to support you during this difficult time with resources available on our website. On our Health Care Mergers and Closures webpage, you’ll find vital information about protections for employed physicians: https://www.pamedsoc.org/home/news-resources/Mergers_Closures
Additionally, our Foundation’s Physicians Health Program offers wellness support to help you navigate these transitions with care and understanding: www.paphp.org
During this period of uncertainty, PAMED is committed to providing support with accessible resources available on our website. We recognize the immense challenges faced by the physicians and health care teams who have tirelessly provided care under increasingly difficult circumstances. The closure of these facilities not only disrupts the lives of health care professionals but also creates significant barriers to access for patients who rely on these essential services.
PAMED continues to sound the alarm on the increasing influence of private equity in the health care sector, warning of potential risks to patient care and professional independence.
By balancing financial benefits with the need to protect patient care and community health, Pennsylvania can ensure that health care remains focused on its core mission: delivering high-quality, patient-centered care.
PAMED is deeply committed to standing by physicians impacted by hospital closures, offering unwavering care and guidance during this difficult time.
