Crozer Health
Crozer Health was a four-hospital health system based in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, and serving Delaware County, northern Delaware, and parts of western New Jersey.
In 1893, the 48-bed Chester Hospital opened to serve the growing population of Chester, Pennsylvania. Ten years later, the J. Lewis Crozer Homeopathic Hospital opened nearby in Upland, Pennsylvania. In 1958, the J. Lewis Crozer Homeopathic Hospital was renamed Crozer Hospital and in 1963 merged with Chester Hospital to officially become the Crozer-Chester Medical Center.
Plans for a new hospital in Upper Darby Township, Pennsylvania, were drawn in 1925 and the Delaware County Hospital was chartered. It opened to the public on July 1, 1927, with 56 beds and 11 bassinets. The hospital was renamed Delaware County Memorial Hospital in 1959.
In 1970, the Crozer-Chester Medical Center expanded its campus by taking over the grounds of the Crozer Theological Seminary. This school originated as a normal school, built by the textile manufacturer John Price Crozer and was used as an Army hospital during the American Civil War and as part of the Pennsylvania Military Academy.
The Crozer Theological Seminary served as an American Baptist Church school and trained seminarians for entry into the Baptist ministry from 1869 to 1970. Martin Luther King Jr. was a student at the school from 1948 to 1951 and graduated with a Bachelor of Divinity degree. In 1970 the school moved to Rochester, New York, in a merger that formed the Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School.
Crozer-Chester Medical Center and Delaware County Memorial Hospital formally merged in 1990 to create Crozer-Keystone Health System, making it the largest provider of healthcare services in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Springfield Hospital (est. 1960) joined the system later that year.
In 1992, the health system acquired Sacred Heart Medical Center (est. 1983) in Chester, Pennsylvania and renamed it Community Hospital. Finally, Taylor Hospital (est. 1910) joined Crozer-Keystone Health System in 1997 as its newest member.
In November 2013, Crozer-Keystone Health System joined Noble Health Alliance. Abington Memorial Hospital, Aria Health, and Einstein Healthcare Network formed the alliance in July 2013. The initiative was intended to encourage collaboration between the four health systems in order to provide Philadelphia and its suburbs with more comprehensive care. In April 2016, the board of managers of Noble Health Alliance announced its decision to dissolve the organization.
