Members of Delaware County Council joined officials from ChristianaCare and local leaders for the ribbon cutting of a new neighborhood hospital campus in Aston, marking the first new hospital opening in Delaware County since the closure of the Crozer health system in early 2025. The new ChristianaCare Aston Campus will operate a 24-hour emergency department and include a 10-bed inpatient unit for overnight stays, observation and testing, along with outpatient services, such as primary care, specialty care and imaging. Councilmember Monica Taylor said the facility represents an opportunity to rebuild stable healthcare access across the county following the collapse of Crozer under former owner Prospect Medical Holdings. ChristianaCare plans to open another neighborhood hospital in Springfield next year as county officials continue efforts to restore healthcare access for residents affected by Crozer’s closures.
