COATESVILLE, Pa. - In Chester County, Tower Health will be closing Brandywine Hospital Monday morning.Tower Health first announced a deal back in December that would have kept both Brandywine Hospital and Jennersville Hospital open, but say the deal fell through after the buyer didn't have secure financing.

Jennersville Hospital closed on December 31, 2021.Officials from Tower Health say they pursued every viable option and spent more than 16 months searching for a new owner for both the hospitals, but all of those preparations and deals fell through.

Tower Health says they will work with patients for transitional care and assist staff with placements into other positions. "Our responsibility to our patients, employees, and the communities served is to ensure this transition included an effective and safe path for change.

In the end, we are highly disappointed that Canyon Atlantic Partners has not been able to satisfy these essential requirements," Tower Health said.Chaz Brogran, President of the Chester Chester County EMS Council, says residents of southern and western Chester County in need of care will feel the impact of the closure. "Their ambulances now have to transport two-three times as long to further away hospitals.

New Brunswick schools see high case counts as province prepares to lift restrictions Saint Thomas University has taken a similar stance, with most precautions remaining in place until the end of the semester.In an interview on Tuesday, student union president Tyler MaGee said he believes this will provide some much-needed stability to students as they enter exam season.“I think it makes sense to have it stable throughout the rest of the academic term, especially since the rest of the term is so short of a time period, I agree with the university’s assessment that it’s best to just not rock the boat and keep this…normal until the end of the semester when we can reevaluate.”In a message sent to students last Friday, President and Vice-Chancellor Dawn Russell said stability for students was a factor in the university’s decision.“From March 14 until the end of the semester and exams is six weeks, which is a relatively short period of time; so at this late stage of the academic year, it is important to focus on continuity and stability rather than launch a series of changes.”A spokesperson for Mount Allison University said that the university will be maintaining most of their current pandemic-related health and safety measures until April 30th.
