History
In 1893, the 48-bed Chester Hospital opened to serve the growing population of Chester, PA. Ten years later, the J. Lewis Crozer Homeopathic Hospital opened nearby in Upland, PA. By 1958, the J. Lewis Crozer Homeopathic Hospital was renamed Crozer Hospital and in 1963 merged with Chester Hospital to officially become the Crozer-Chester Medical Center.
Plans for a new hospital in Upper Darby, PA were drawn in 1925 and the Delaware County Hospital was chartered. It opened to the public on July 1, 1927, with 56 beds and 11 bassinets. The hospital was renamed Delaware County Memorial Hospital in 1959.
In 1970, the Crozer-Chester Medical Center would further expand its campus by taking over the building, now called Old Main, and the surrounding grounds of the Crozer Theological Seminary after the seminary moved out of state. This building originated as the Normal School at Upland, PA and served as an Army hospital during the American Civil War, treating more than 6,000 soldiers from both the Union and Confederate armies.
Crozer-Chester Medical Center and Delaware County Memorial Hospital formally merged in 1990 to create Crozer-Keystone Health System, making it the largest provider of healthcare services in Delaware County, PA. Springfield Hospital (est. 1960) joined the system later that year.
In 1992, the health system acquired Sacred Heart Medical Center (est. 1983) in Chester, PA and renamed it Community Hospital. The Crozer-Keystone Healthplex Sports Club opened in 1996 in Springfield, PA as part of a program to develop a comprehensive health and wellness center. Finally, Taylor Hospital (est. 1910) joined Crozer-Keystone Health System in 1997 as the newest member of the system.
In November 2013, Crozer-Keystone Health System joined Noble Health Alliance. Abington Memorial Hospital, Aria Health, and Einstein Healthcare Network formed the alliance in July 2013. The initiative was intended to encourage collaboration between the four health systems in order to provide the Philadelphia and its suburbs with more comprehensive care. In April 2016, the board of managers of Noble Health Alliance announced its decision to dissolve the organization.
In January 2016, Crozer-Keystone entered into a definitive agreement for the health system to be acquired by Prospect Medical Holdings, Inc. On July 1, 2016, Prospect Medical Holdings, Inc. completed its acquisition of Crozer-Keystone Health System after receiving all necessary regulatory approval.
