Have you run into issues with unemployment compensation since Crozer Health closed in May?
Employees impacted by the sudden closure of Crozer-Chester Medical Center and Taylor Hospital in Delaware County, and other Pennsylvanians with questions about Unemployment Compensation, are invited to a free, virtual information session, “After Crozer Closed: How to Tackle Unemployment Compensation Issues.”

This training is designed to assist Crozer Health employees who recently lost their employment and is also open to the public.
Attorneys are welcome to attend, but CLE credit will NOT be provided. Legal aid staff are also invited. If you have questions about Unemployment Compensation in Pennsylvania, this training will provide helpful information.

About this training
On April 21, 2025, Prospect Medical Holdings announced the May 2025 closure of Crozer-Chester Medical Center and Taylor Hospital, which are both located in Delaware County, PA. Employees were provided formal notice that their jobs will be terminated, and Delaware County issued an Emergency Declaration in response to the closure. Thousands are employed by the Crozer Health system, and they will be left without employment. This training, to answer employees' questions about unemployment compensation in a timely way and provide education on denial appeals, is needed at this time, given the large number of individuals who are impacted.
Questions? Please contact Erica Briant at ebriant@lasp.org or 484-322-6474.
