The Fall of Crozer Health, Part 6: Eight Months Later

In this episode, as promised, several of the doctors, nurses, medical assistants, elected officials and public servants we spoke to initially tell us how they have fared since. A few themes emerged: the unexpected domino effects when a hospital closes, the importance of community, trust, and transparency, the mismatch between healthcare executives in pursuit of profit and medical professionals in pursuit of public service (and the moral injury that results), and their relentless commitment to and hope for the community they served.
