Tower Health has agreed to sell the former Brandywine Hospital to Penn Medicine according to a post on the Chester County Commissioners’Facebook page.
Commissioners Marian Moskowitz, Josh Maxwell, and Michelle Kichline expressed their pleasure at this news, highlighting the positive impact it will have on healthcare services in Chester County.
“On behalf of County Commissioner Marian Moskowitz, County Commissioner Josh Maxwell, and County Commissioner Michelle Kichline: We are pleased that Tower Health has agreed to sell the former Brandywine Hospital to Penn Medicine. Penn Medicine already provides top hospital and healthcare services in Chester County and expanding that investment to the Coatesville area is tremendous news – and cause to celebrate! As Penn Medicine completes its due diligence, we will support its efforts in reimagining healthcare access to everyone in Western Chester County.”
The decision by Penn Medicine to acquire the former Brandywine Hospital comes after Tower Health’s decision to close the 171-bed Coatesville facility 18 months ago.
