Penn Medicine has canceled plans to buy the Brandywine Hospital campus in Caln Township near Coatesville from owner and former operator Tower Health. The proposed acquisition was intended to be part of Penn Medicine's efforts to work with the Department of Veterans Affairs to improve health care delivery to military veterans. “After an intensive due diligence process, we have determined that we would be unable to build out the infrastructure for the project in the space available on the Brandywine campus,” Penn Medicine said on its website, adding that it is seeking another location to continue its goal of working with the VA. Tower Health closed Brandywine Hospital on Jan. 31, 2022. Jennersville Hospital was also shuttered a month earlier by Tower Health.
