"This really hit hard": Pennsylvania hospital shutdown strains health care delivery, first responders sayFirst responders tell CBS News the closure last November of the nearly century-old Delaware County Memorial Hospital in suburban Philadelphia has stretched the area's health care system to its limits.
"EMS is [taking] longer getting to where they have to be, getting to offload their patient, and then longer getting back into their district," said McCans."So all that is compounding the problem." The company cited recent comments by Christine Reuther, a Delaware County official, to suggest the county had conducted a preliminary study of the county's EMS system that"showed no change in response time due to the closure" of the hospital.
McCans said the hospital's closure has left some residents of Delaware County"stranded for health care." "Just put simply, they bought the real estate out of Prospect and leased it back to Prospect," said Rob Simone, an analyst at a Connecticut-based research firm called Hedgeye. "Hospital systems are struggling, and individual hospitals are closing in some cases, which is very problematic," Simone said, pointing to Delaware County Memorial as an example. Prospect Medical owes $35 million a year in rent to Medical Properties Trust for the health system.
