**** Note: the Crozer Rally and Speakout is on Monday, Sept 8th, not Saturday, Sept 6th.
Join the Southeast PA Healthcare Rights Committee of Put People First! PA, healthcare workers, the National Union of the Homeless, the PA Poor People’s Campaign and other partners as we participate in the NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION FOR MEDICAID AND AGAINST HOSPITAL CLOSURES with the Nonviolent Medicaid Army.
The Crozer-Chester Medical Center, built during the Civil War, closed on May 2, 2025, leaving 2,700 people without jobs and hundreds of thousands of people without lifesaving emergency and trauma care, a burn center, doctors’ offices, behavioral health and mental health care, and much more. On September 8th, the Crozer system will have been closed for 129 days and there are still few solutions being put forward.
Crozer-Chester is the fourth Crozer Hospital to close in the last few years, leaving Delaware County without its largest hospital system and making Delaware County a Healthcare Desert.
Hospital closures are an epidemic across the country with 26 hospitals closing in Pennsylvania alone in the past 5 years.
We take a stand against medicaid cuts, knowing the ongoing and deepening attacks on Medicaid will force more hospitals to close. There is growing agreement in BOTH Wall Street parties that poor people no longer need or deserve hospitals. We reject this!
We all have a human right to all healthcare, including quality hospitals and primary care in our communities.
Join us to fight back!
