Reimagining Care

In June 2023, Penn Medicine announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) through new authorities made possible by the PACT Act. Our vision included the potential purchase of the former Brandywine Hospital campus from Tower Health, where we hoped to accommodate the VA’s plans as well as explore ways to provide additional access to health care for other local residents.

After an intensive due diligence process, we have determined that we would be unable to build out the infrastructure for the project in the space available on the Brandywine campus and will terminate our letter of intent with Tower to purchase the property.

However, this project is of vital importance for both veterans in our region and community members who live in the Coatesville area, and we are working to secure a different property nearby to execute this vision and move ahead with these important partnerships. We look forward to continuing our close work with community stakeholders to listen to your ideas and feedback and share plans as these efforts continue.
