Tower Health releases la letter of intent for Penn Medicine to purchase the defunct Brandywine Hospital.
According to a statement from Tower Health, the company has signed a letter of intent to finalize Penn Medicine’s acquisition of the former Brandywine Hospital, which shut down last January.
"What it means to them is a lifeline; you have a heart attack, you don’t have to spend 45 minutes in an ambulance hoping you get there in time," says Marian Moskowitz, Chair of the Chester County Board of Commissioners. "At this point there’s still no guarantee it will be an acute care hospital with an emergency room," she said. "I can’t speak for Penn I believe they are looking for that and that is what we’re hoping for to have an emergency room."
As Chaz Brogan, Chester County EMS Council President says, "We have a lot of capabilities in the back of an ambulance, but we don’t have all the capabilities, so I’m sure there certainly have been circumstances where not having an emergency department close by did impact the patient."
