Crozer Health Layoffs: Job Training and Employment Search Assistance
Delaware County Offers Job Training and Employment Search Assistance for People Impacted by Crozer Layoff
Delaware County’s Office of Workforce Development, through PA CareerLink® Delaware County, is offering job training and employment search assistance to the hundreds of people impacted by the layoffs by Crozer Health.
On March 16, Crozer Health and its parent company, Prospect Medical Holdings publicly announced the layoff of over 200 employees as part of its operational restructuring plan. Hundreds of Crozer Health employees have also been affected by Prospect’s decision in 2022 to suspend medical services at Delaware County Memorial Hospital and Springfield Hospital.
The layoffs of Crozer staff, the halting of medical services, and closures of medical buildings continue to be a concern to the County. The County remains concerned that Prospect/Crozer Health has not demonstrated that the health and well-being of our community is among its corporate priorities.
“The County continues to strive to find healthcare providers to step in and serve the healthcare needs of our residents in the gaps created by Prospect/Crozer’s withdrawal of services, and we will now also step in to support the impacted workforce through the efforts of our Office of Workforce Development,” said Delaware County Council Chair Dr. Monica Taylor.
Crozer employees who have been impacted by the layoffs are encouraged to contact PA CareerLink® Delaware County for career-related assistance.
