Prospect Medical Holdings, Crozer Health's bankrupt parent company, is selling the real estate at Crozer-Chester Medical Center and Springfield Hospital. The deadline to submit a bid for the closed hospitals is Oct. 7, according to documents filed Friday in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas. If the California-based company receives enough qualified bids, there will be a virtual auction Oct. 10. Crozer was once Delaware County's largest health system.
