Springfield Hospital Emergency Department Temporarily Closing Due To COVID Staff Shortages

By CBS3 Staff January 10, 2022 at 9:12 pm

SPRINGFIELD, Pa. (CBS) — In Delaware County, COVID-19 staff shortages are forcing Crozer Health to make major changes. Beginning Friday, Crozer Health will temporarily close the Springfield Hospital emergency department.

Patients needing emergency care will be directed to nearby hospitals and urgent care centers.

Crozer-Chester Medical Center has suspended an in-patient substance abuse program.

Remaining staff will be temporarily allocated to Crozer’s other medical centers.

Even larger city hospitals are having a problem, but let's hope the post-holiday surge is slowing down.
Stay home and stay safe. Always wear a mask or even double masking is better.
