The Fall of Crozer Health
Highlight Reel for Awards Judges Only
A Special Limited Podcast Series
In over 40 interviews with Crozer physicians, nurses, paramedics, medical assistants, and county and state legislators, we captured the stories, emotions, and impact – in real time – of a hospital system in Delaware County, PA as its doors were closing.
Crozer Health was Delaware County’s largest hospital system. Its fall was financially engineered over nearly a decade – a predictable page out of the private equity playbook. This tragedy will echo for years.
This 30min. highlight reel pulls clips from the original five-part podcast series that aired each week in May 2025 (original series run time is 3.5 hours), and the follow up episode, “The Fall of Crozer Health: Eight Months Later” which dropped in December 2025.
In addition to the five trauma physicians, two paramedics, four medical assistants, and one behavioral health nurse - all Crozer Health employees who wished to remain anonymous - voices heard in this highlight reel include:
