Call Governor Shapiro at 717-787-2500
Introduction:
Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m calling from the Movement of Immigrant Leaders in Pennsylvania MILPA for short to urge Governor Shapiro/[Your legislator] to prevent the closure of Crozer and Taylor Health hospitals in Delaware County. If Crozer and Taylor close, only Mercy Fitzgerald and Riddle Hospital will remain to serve over 570,000 residents.
Key Points to Mention:
1. Impact on Healthcare Access
Closing Crozer and Taylor Health would leave many residents without nearby healthcare, putting lives at risk and overwhelming the remaining hospitals.
2. Health and Safety:
Losing these hospitals creates dangerous gaps in emergency and routine care. Delaware County needs all its hospitals to maintain health and safety.
3. Economic and Job Impact:
Hospitals are crucial to the local economy. Closing these hospitals would harm jobs and destabilize the community.
Call to Action:
Please take action to prevent the closure of these hospitals and ensure all Delaware County residents have access to necessary healthcare.
Closing:
Thank you for your time and for protecting healthcare access in our community.
