ChristianaCare and Delaware County, PA leaders marked a milestone in the construction of ChristianaCare Hospital, Aston, earlier this month.
The hospital remains on track to open in the second half of 2026. ChristianaCare is developing the hospital in partnership with Emerus Holdings, Inc., a national developer of neighborhood hospitals.
The 20,000-square-foot ChristianaCare Hospital, Aston will be a fully licensed, small-format hospital that’s open around the clock.
“This is an exciting moment, not just for ChristianaCare, but for the Aston community,” said Pauline Corso, president of Ambulatory Network Continuity and Growth at ChristianaCare.
Signing this commemorative beam is a proud and meaningful milestone,” said Jim Bennett, market CEO for ChristianaCare-Emerus. “This hospital will bring vital, high-quality care to the people of Aston Township — close to home and when they need it most.”
The hospital will include a full-service emergency department that can treat common emergencies, such as falls, injuries, heart attacks, and strokes. It will also feature a 10-bed inpatient unit, diagnostic imaging services (including CT, X-ray, and ultrasound), laboratory services, and access to virtual consultations with specialists in fields like cardiology and neurology.
The second floor will house a health center that offers outpatient services, including primary and specialty care.
ChristianaCare Hospital, Aston is one of three neighborhood hospitals ChristianaCare is bringing to southeastern Pennsylvania.
In addition to Aston, a hospital has been approved for Springfield Township, and ChristianaCare will open its first Pennsylvania hospital in West Grove, Chester County, this summer.
ChristianaCare also recently announced it was the successful bidder in a competitive auction for several Crozer Health outpatient centers in Glen Mills, Havertown, Broomall, and Media.
Together, the hospitals and outpatient centers represent a significant investment in restoring access to care following the closure of multiple healthcare facilities across southeastern Pennsylvania, according to a release.
