Penn’s International Student and Scholar Services is monitoring more visa revocations in light of the visa termination of all South Sudanese passport holders, and the Wharton School maintained its top spot in this year’s U.S. News Best Business Schools ranking.
But first, Penn Medicine has taken over the leases of two Crozer Health properties in a $5 million deal to save the health system from bankruptcy.
The University of Pennsylvania Health System is set to take over two Crozer Health leases as part of a $5 million deal to prevent the Delaware-based health system from closing while its parent company goes through bankruptcy.
Crozer Health and its owner, Prospect Medical Holdings, filed for bankruptcy in January, creating financial and public health concerns for the region. Delaware County also paid $1 million to FTI Consulting — an external firm that has managed Crozer since February — for “mental health services rendered” as part of the effort to keep the health system afloat.
Bankruptcy attorneys for Prospect previously stated that the company would begin closing parts of its health system if it was unable to secure a $9 million cash infusion by April 16. Contributions from Penn Medicine and Delaware County will temporarily sustain Crozer’s general medical operations while Prospect continues its search for a buyer.
