By GlobalDataThe plan of ChristianaCare for a neighbourhood hospital in southern Chester County community will fulfil Pennsylvania Department of Health’s necessity for a micro-hospital.
ChristianaCare chief wellness officer and West Grove planning clinical leader Heather Farley said: “After listening to the needs of the community and an extensive review of historical and projected demographic data, we believe this neighbourhood hospital model will provide the right mix of health care services for the West Grove campus in a way that is sustainable and meets the community’s most immediate needs today.
“It also sets us up to grow in meeting more of the community’s needs in the future.”
The hospital is anticipated to open late next year.
ChristianaCare secured funding of $5m from Chester County and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania last year to aid facility development.
The company completed the acquisition of the West Grove campus from Tower Health in June last year.
