Emergency Rooms For Delco In Health Emergency
By Bob Small
In case you missed it Ridley Township latest to declare emergency over EMS and Chester-Crozier systems has just become a memory and Delaware County has become a third world county.
Delaware County and my world, Swarthmore, have also declared states of emergency. The only two major hospitals left in Delaware County are Lankenau and Riddle, The Delaware County Health Department should, operative word should, be working on this situation. Then there’s Delaware County Council which, I’d like to believe means well. Only State Senator Tim Kearney. of our local legislators, to my knowledge, has been involved with this situation.
Piggy-backing on Sharon Devaney’s excellent article this is a list of ER’s currently operating in Delco. We also listed those within 30 minutes or less from Swarthmore. Note; In Swarthmore, we’ve been told that Riddle is the first ER option and Lankenau is the second. After that, who knows?
