'What they said was that if the numbers improve, they will start restoring services,' said State Representative Mike Zabel. 'But how do the numbers improve if you're only running an emergency room?

DREXEL HILL, Pennsylvania -- Local lawmakers are sounding the alarm, claiming thousands of patients in Delaware County are at risk of losing health care services.
Delaware County Memorial Hospital is losing its outpatient substance abuse clinic on June 10 due to COVID-19 challenges and a staffing shortage. It makes up 12% of hospital beds in the county, with Crozer Health system as a whole, facing a series of closures. "There are people who want to serve the community and have been in this community for decades that are finding themselves having to go someplace else," said Allen Bruno, an emergency room nurse at DCMH and member of the Pennsylvania Association of Staff Nurses and Allied Professionals .
