The former Jennersville Hospital campus in West Grove is set to reopen next month as ChristianaCare’s first neighborhood hospital, writes Kenny Cooper for WHYY.
“It’s an honor and privilege to expand access to high-quality care for our neighbors in southern Chester County,” said Dr. Janice Nevin, president and CEO of Wilmington-based ChristianaCare. “We will be opening our doors for the families in this community with a steadfast commitment to being their trusted health care partner.”
ChristianaCare Hospital, West Grove, will open in mid-August and feature a ten-room emergency department as well as ten inpatient beds.
The facility that spans 20,000 square feet will offer imaging and lab services, plus virtual access to cardiology and critical care specialists.
While the campus will be able to treat heart attacks, injuries, and strokes. Any procedures requiring surgery while more complex interventions will be referred to other hospitals.
“This neighborhood hospital brings the right mix of services to support the health and well-being of our neighbors,” said Pauline Corso, president of ambulatory network continuity and growth at ChristianaCare. “We’re excited to bring care close to home to meet the needs of the community.”
