Twenty patients remained at Crozer-Chester as of Wednesday, Paul Rundell, Prospect’s chief restructuring officer, told U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Stacey Jernigan. He described the remaining patients as difficult to move.

“Distress isn’t even a word for how these patients feel and how lost and how angry they feel,” Melanie McKendry, the lead medical assistant in the gynecology oncology department at Crozer-Chester Medical Center, said of the news that these services were going to end this week. “They’re distraught. They’re distraught.”

Moments before Crozer-Chester Medical Center closed its ER Wednesday, nurses delivered one final baby in a bittersweet moment.
