Jefferson Health has signed a service agreement with Crozer Health to provide various neurological care services at Crozer-Chester Medical Center in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, US.
As part of this partnership, Jefferson Health specialists will deliver a range of neurological services, including neurosurgery and neurocritical care, at the Crozer-Chester campus.
This collaboration, which aims to enhance the region’s access to specialised neurological services, commenced on 15 January 2024.
In addition, this will allow Crozer-Chester Medical Center to access the latest innovations that will help treat neurological disorders and traumatic injuries related to the spine and brain.
The partnership with Crozer Health, a health system established in 1990, signifies a strategic move to extend Jefferson Health’s specialised services to a broader patient base.
Crozer Health was formed after the merger of Crozer-Chester Medical Center in Upland and Delaware County Memorial Hospital in Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania.
