Delco Radiology Crisis: WHYY News Calls for Input from Residents on Healthcare Needs Amid Loss of Imaging Services

Radiology services at Crozer Health may be discontinued by the end of June.

WHYY News is calling for input from residents in the suburbs of Philadelphia, including Delco, Chesco, Montco, and Bucks, on what topics they would like our news coverage to focus on. We want to hear your thoughts so we can better serve your interests and needs.

In other news, Crozer Health is facing the potential loss of its radiology services by June 30. Southeast Radiology Limited, a long-standing partner with Crozer for over 40 years, has decided to terminate their agreement with the troubled four-hospital system in Delaware County. Crozer CEO Anthony Esposito mentioned in an email to staff that efforts are underway to find a solution to prolong the availability of radiology services beyond the termination date.

The future is uncertain regarding where patients will receive care once Southeast Radiology Limited withdraws its services from Crozer Health. The spokesperson for Crozer has not yet provided any updates or comments on the situation. The radiology department plays a critical role in diagnosing and treating injuries and illnesses through various medical imaging techniques, including X-rays and MRIs. Southeast Radiology Limited has also been responsible for offering specialized intervention radiological services for cancer therapy at Crozer-Chester Medical Center and Taylor Hospital.

Despite attempts to contact Southeast Radiology Limited for an official statement, WHYY News has been unsuccessful in getting a response. The potential loss of radiology services at Crozer Health could have significant implications for patients in need of these essential medical services.

As always, WHYY News remains committed to providing you with accurate and up-to-date information on issues that matter most to you.
