Former Crozer, Taylor Patients To Get Help Navigating Future Care

YEADON, PA — The Delaware County Health Department is inviting former Crozer patients and community members to attend a free event that will help them navigate their healthcare amid the system's closure.

"Navigating Our Health Care System: Supporting One Another During Changing Times" will be held from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday at the Delaware County Wellness Center, 125 Chester Ave. in Yeadon.

The event is free, open to the public, and available on a walk-in basis only. Attendees are encouraged to bring a cell phone and a valid ID if they would like to receive assistance in obtaining their medical records.

With the closing of Crozer and Taylor hospitals this past year, residents were left with little guidance for transitioning to new providers.

In response, the health department held “Navigating our Health Care System” events that have supported hundreds of Delaware County residents. It first hosted two community panel discussions for the public in April. In June through July, the department helped meet the critical needs of our seniors with focused healthcare support opportunities across Delaware County at nine events hosted at senior centers.

"This has been a challenging transition time for many families in our community," Delaware County Health Department Director Lora Siegmann Werner said. "DCHD is here to make sure resident have the support they need to access vital care and information."
