The Fall of Crozer Health, Part 3: “Betrayal. Plain and Simple.”
When health systems are underwater, you might want to look up upstream to see what the trouble is. When you get there, sometimes you’ll find out why those systems are falling into the water. . . and sometimes you’ll find out who’s pushing them. In this episode, we’re going upstream to look at how we got to the point where a health system that served more than a hundred thousand people per year suddenly closed its doors, and what went wrong along the way.
Correction to an earlier version of the podcast: Michelle Henry was the PA Attorney General at the time she made her remarks featured in this episode, not at the time of the sale, as previously suggested. A correction has been made.
