02 — Since Crozer closed

What's changed at Riddle Hospital

A much busier ER

In January 2026, Riddle's president said emergency visits were up by more than a third since Crozer-Chester and Taylor closed. As a result, waits can be long for problems that aren't urgent. So for minor issues, an urgent care center or your own doctor may be faster.

State money for more staff

In January 2026, Pennsylvania also gave Riddle about $4 million. As a result, the hospital can hire more staff for the extra patients.

Your old Crozer records

Riddle doesn't hold Crozer records. Instead, request them from Morgan Records Management before March 2, 2027. Our Crozer records guide shows how.

Other ERs nearby

ChristianaCare Hospital in Aston opened in June 2026. Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital in Darby is also open. Both run 24/7 emergency rooms, so compare all hospitals in Delaware County before you go.

Before you go to the Riddle Hospital ER

First, call 911 if the problem is life-threatening, and don't drive yourself. Otherwise, bring a photo ID, your insurance card and a list of your medicines. Also, if you have copies of old Crozer records, bring them along. Our guide to what to expect at the Riddle ER covers check-in, the ER parking lot and how busy it gets. Finally, check Main Line Health's Riddle page for parking and visitor rules, because those can change.

Is Riddle Hospital a trauma center?

No. According to WHYY, it is not a designated trauma center. Therefore, paramedics usually take people with severe injuries to trauma centers outside Delaware County. Meanwhile, Riddle still treats most other emergencies around the clock.
