​
Introduction:
Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m calling from the Movement of Immigrant Leaders in Pennsylvania MILPA for short to urge Governor Shapiro/[Your legislator] to prevent the closure of Crozer Health hospitals in Delaware County. If Crozer Health closes, only Mercy Fitzgerald and Riddle Hospital will remain to serve over 570,000 residents.​
​​​
Key Points to Mention:
​
-
Impact on Healthcare Access
Closing Crozer Health would leave many residents without nearby healthcare, putting lives at risk and overwhelming the remaining hospitals.
-
Health and Safety:
Losing these hospitals creates dangerous gaps in emergency and routine care. Delaware County needs all its hospitals to maintain health and safety.
-
Economic and Job Impact:
Hospitals are crucial to the local economy. Closing Crozer Health would harm jobs and destabilize the community.
​
Call to Action:
Please take action to prevent the closure of Crozer Health and ensure all Delaware County residents have access to necessary healthcare.​
​
Closing:
Thank you for your time and for protecting healthcare access in our community.​​
