​
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 and Taylor Health hospitals in Delaware County. If Crozer and Taylor close, only Mercy Fitzgerald and Riddle Hospital will remain to serve over 570,000 residents.
​​​
Key Points to Mention:
​
1. Impact on Healthcare Access
Closing Crozer and Taylor Health would leave many residents without nearby healthcare, putting lives at risk and overwhelming the remaining hospitals.
​
2. 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.
​
3. Economic and Job Impact:
Hospitals are crucial to the local economy. Closing these hospitals would harm jobs and destabilize the community.​
Call to Action:
Please take action to prevent the closure of these hospitals 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.
