ChristianaCare wins bids for five Crozer Health locations

May 29, 2025 1

WILMINGTON – ChristianaCare is expanding again after winning bankruptcy auction bids for five new facilities following the closure of Crozer Health in Pennsylvania.

The bids came to a whopping $50.3 million collectively and include two facilities in Glen Mills and one each in Havertown, Broomall and Media, Pa.

Crozer Health’s parent company, Prospect Medical Holdings, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy back in January, forcing the closure of all of its facilities, including the Crozer-Chester Medical Center.

ChristianaCare’s new deal to purchase some of Crozer Health’s shuttered facilities comes nearly three years after ChristianaCare walked away from its efforts to purchase the entire Crozer Health organization with leaders at the time citing a significantly chanced economic landscape as the reason the deal had been thwarted.

Since then, the Delaware-based organization has continued to explore other expansion options and even announced plans to develop several new micro-hospitals.

ChristianaCare announced a partnership with Emerus Holdings Inc. in February of last year with plans to open three micro-hospitals in southeastern Pennsylvania over the course of this year. Two of those facilities will be located in Delaware County while an $8 million acquisition allowed for the purchase of the third facility, the Jennersville Hospital, which ChristianaCare has dubbed the West Grove Campus.

In December, the group announced another new micro-hospital to open in Aston, Pa. in a $50 million investment under the name ChristianaCare Pennsylvania, Inc.

A spokesperson for the ChristianaCare told the Delaware Business Times that the new Crozer Health purchases, some coming in just a few miles away from the new micro-hospital in Aston, will complement the new campuses and neighborhood hospitals sprouting up in Pennsylvania.

At this time, the bankruptcy sale is pending court approval.

“ChristianaCare plans to keep these sites operational. We are actively assessing the programs and services that are provided at these locations to determine which services to continue, restart or grow,” the spokesperson told DBT.

In the press release, ChristianaCare President & CEO Dr. Janice E. Nevin stated, “As we work to meet the needs of our Delaware County neighbors, we are glad that ChristianaCare is able to take on these outpatient centers and provide stability and continuity of access to care for patients. At the same time, by investing back into the communities we serve, we continue to expand the availability of convenient, high-quality care throughout the region.”

ChristianaCare has also worked to expand in other ways, as well, particularly in urgent care facilities. It took over operations of five GoHealth Urgent Care facilities in 2020, including locations in Newark, Christiana, Glasgow, Middletown and Smyrna. Four more locations were added when MedExpress clinics shuttered doors across Delaware, leading ChristianaCare to open facilities in New Castle, Newark, Wilmington and Dover. s
