Delaware County Provides Services and Opportunities at Health and Job Fair

Responding to recent Crozer Health closures, Delaware County provides resources and refuge for residents.

Delaware County, PA — Last week, Delaware County Council Vice Chair Richard Womack hosted a health and job fair at Academy Park High in Sharon Hill, with over a hundred attendees and 30 community partners. The event provided health screenings, services and information, and job opportunities, including on-the-spot interviews.

“Even though Prospect Medical Holdings turned their backs on our community, Delaware County’s government never will,” said Vice Chair Womack. “We’re at our best as a County workforce when we get out of our offices and into the community to bring services directly to folks where they’re needed. That’s exactly what this event was about.”

The event gave opportunities for jobseekers to connect with over a dozen potential employers, including through instant interviews, resume assistance, and other career services.

Daniel Breaux, a participant at the fair, said, “I feel like it was amazing. I got to meet great people, received great information, I was interviewed on the spot. I’m excited to hear back from the hiring manager.”

The event built upon a successful effort at Subaru Park in May, which drew over 1,000 attendees from the former Crozer workforce. The event was not limited to job placement assistance, however, and featured free health screenings, dental checkups, a wellness tent from Delaware County’s Health Department, and more. Many community members lost primary care services in the closure of Crozer-Chester Medical Center and Taylor Hospital. The event provided additional information about accessing medical records and new primary care services.

“I am grateful to see different companies and entities make it easier to work all together,” said Adam Birch of MVP Recovery. “Crozer is gone and there’s over 10,000 mental health and addiction cases being without resources and now scrambling to find information.”

“It’s great for community members to see resources at their fingertips that they may have been unaware of, and that there is help in Delaware County,” added Kayla Taylor of MVP Recovery.

Last Friday’s fair was also attended by staff of elected officials from the offices of State Representative David M. Delloso and Senator Anthony Williams, highlighting the collaboration between Delaware County’s government and members of Delaware County’s State delegation in Harrisburg.

The event is part of an ongoing effort to provide more services directly to where Delaware County’s residents are, and to demystify the programs and services County officials can deliver to serve residents.

“My job as a public servant isn’t to sit back and wait to help people, it’s to listen and to push forward when our residents tell us what they need,” said Vice Chair Womack. “That’s exactly what we did here on Friday, and what I’m going to keep doing every day that I’m blessed to be able to serve people.”
