In the wake of the closures of Crozer-Chester Medical Center and Taylor Hospital in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, state leaders are pushing to limit private equity companies' influence on health care in the state.

On the lawn of the now-closed Crozer-Chester Medical Center Thursday Gov. Josh Shapiro called on the Pennsylvania General Assembly to pass legislation limiting private equity’s future role in health care – a play to prevent what the governor described as predatory practices that resulted in the decimation of one of Delaware County’s most essential healthcare institutions.

Governor Shapiro of Pennsylvania proposes changes on private equity-owned hospitals after Crozer Health's closure, alongside efforts to support affected workers.
