Jefferson Health, Crozer partner to grow neurological care

Jefferson Health, based in Philadelphia, has recently entered into a service agreement with Crozer Health, located in Upland, Pennsylvania, to extend neurological care services in Delaware County. Commencing on January 15, specialists from Jefferson Health have initiated the delivery of neurosurgery and neurocritical care on the campus of Crozer-Chester Medical Center.
