Peggy Malone, a nurse who worked at Crozer Hospital, told The Keystone that she was fired from a new job after speaking out against private equity firms closing hospitals across the commonwealth.
Prospect Medical Holdings closed four hospitals it purchased, including Crozer, in Delaware County over the last three years. The company originally promised to keep the hospital open for 10 years, however, they closed Crozer with little warning at the beginning of May.
Malone explained that she had a new job lined up after Crozer closed but was unexpectedly fired after expressing her views about Prospect Medical Holdings at a press conference with Gov. Josh Shapiro last month.
