“We understand that the corporate direction Crozer took through its owners leaves some 2,600+ employees without a job,” said Dr. Jonathan Peri, President of Manor College, “We have many students from Delaware County already and there’s no reason we can’t help train, further educate and assist with the employment of former Crozer employees. Indeed, we see it as linked to our mission to be supportive of our greater workforce community when the times get tough and we have the capacity to assist, and that’s why we’re lending a hand. As our patron, Saint Basil the Great said, ‘Be generous, and use whatever is left over from real needs, to do good’.”
To help with the transition, a job fair was held for former Crozer Health employees on May 13 at Subaru Park in Chester, which representatives from Manor College attended.
Prospect Medical Holdings, the parent company of Delaware County’s largest hospital system, announced the closing of Crozer Health last month. The system currently employs nearly 3,000 people, including more than 1,900 at Crozer-Chester Medical Center, according to WHYY.
