What the Crozer Hospital Closure Means for Your Health Coverage

By Mike Braun, Founder of Franklin Benefits Group

The recent news about the closure of Crozer-Chester Medical Center and Taylor Hospital is upsetting—not just for the community, but especially for the staff. If you’re one of the many employees affected, I want you to know: you’re not alone, and you do have options.

When a hospital shuts down like this, a lot happens fast. One of the most urgent concerns we’re hearing is, “What happens to my health insurance?”

Here’s the tough part—COBRA won’t be available. That’s because the hospital, as your employer, is shutting down completely. But there’s some good news: you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period. That means you can still get health insurance—and we’re here to help you find a plan that fits your needs and budget.

At Franklin Benefits Group, we’ve helped workers all across Pennsylvania through unexpected transitions like this one. We’re based right here, and we know the health insurance landscape inside and out—from the Pennie® marketplace to direct-to-carrier plans.

What You Can Do Now

  1. Don’t wait. The Special Enrollment Period gives you a limited window to enroll. Missing that deadline could mean going without coverage.

  2. Explore your options. Some plans offer significant financial assistance based on your income and household size.

  3. Get free help. We work one-on-one with Crozer employees at no cost. No fees. No catch. Just honest help from people who do this every day.

Whether you’re looking for a temporary solution or something long-term, we’ll walk you through it step by step.

Click the link below to reach out. You can call us, send a message, or fill out the short form. We’ll get back to you fast—and make sure you’re covered.

We know this isn’t an easy time. But you’ve got people in your corner.
