The nonprofit Restorative Health Foundation, led by Philadelphia business owner Felicia Wilson, plans to reopen Springfield Hospital as a full-service medical facility if its $3 million bid for the property is approved in bankruptcy court. Spokeswoman Aminah Shabazz Perez said the group aims to partner with a major health system, such as Penn Medicine or ChristianaCare, to “restore the hospital to its former glory.” The 11-acre site, closed by Prospect Medical Holdings during the pandemic, would require significant repairs and investment, including new piping and $1.7 million in roof work. Local taxing authorities in Delaware County — including Springfield Township, Springfield School District and the county — have not yet reached agreements on outstanding tax appeals and remain cautious, citing limited information about the buyer’s plans. Township officials said they will not finalize any deal until the buyer’s identity and intentions are verified. A bankruptcy court hearing on the proposed sale is scheduled for Nov. 4.
