ChristianaCare Hospital, West Grove to Open Mid-August 2025
Bringing easy-to-access emergency and acute care to Southern Chester County
ChristianaCare is opening its first neighborhood hospital in the company’s 188 year history – ChristianaCare Hospital, West Grove. Set to open in mid-August, this facility offers a new model of emergency and acute care right in the heart of southern Chester County, Pennsylvania. The exact opening date will be confirmed following final inspection by the Pennsylvania Department of Health, which is scheduled to occur in the first week of August.
A modern hospital, right in the neighborhood
Located at 1015 West Baltimore Pike in West Grove, the 20,000-square-foot hospital will operate 24/7, offering around-the-clock care in a modern, easy-to-access setting. Developed in partnership with Emerus Holdings, Inc., the nation’s leading developer of neighborhood hospitals, this facility brings high-quality acute and emergency care directly into the community. It will be staffed with board-certified emergency physicians, skilled nurses and clinical specialists, all dedicated to delivering patient-first, efficient and compassionate care.

“It’s an honor and privilege to expand access to high-quality care for our neighbors in southern Chester County,” said Janice Nevin, M.D., MPH, president and CEO of ChristianaCare. “We will be opening our doors for the families in this community with a steadfast commitment to being their trusted health care partner. We’re grateful for the opportunity to bring love and excellence to those we will serve.”
Convenient, comprehensive services
ChristianaCare Hospital, West Grove is designed to meet a wide range of everyday medical needs. Key features include:
• A full-service emergency department with 10 treatment rooms.
• A 10-bed inpatient unit for overnight stays, observation and diagnostics.
• Advanced imaging and lab services, including ultrasound, CT scan and X-ray.
• Virtual access to specialists in such areas as cardiology, critical care and infectious disease.
The emergency department is equipped to treat conditions such as falls, injuries, heart attacks and strokes. Patients requiring surgery or more complex care will be stabilized and seamlessly transferred to a hospital with more expanded service offerings based on the clinical needs of the patient.
“This neighborhood hospital brings the right mix of services to support the health and well-being of our neighbors,” said Pauline Corso, president of ambulatory network continuity and growth at ChristianaCare. “We’re excited to bring care close to home to meet the needs of the community. We’re here to stay and grow alongside this community.”
The project has received strong local support and was made possible in part by generous grants from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the Chester County Board of Commissioners — Josh Maxwell, Marian Moskowitz and Eric Roe — whose leadership helped bring this vision to life.
Health center expands access to primary and specialty care
As part of its long-term investment in the West Grove campus, ChristianaCare has also purchased the building at 900 W. Baltimore Pike, across the street from the hospital. This facility currently houses a ChristianaCare primary care practice and imaging services, offering walk-in X-rays and scheduled mammography and ultrasound appointments.
This health center will continue to evolve to meet the growing needs of the community.
Meeting regional needs with a broader vision
ChristianaCare is expanding its neighborhood hospital model to address care gaps across southeastern Pennsylvania. New hospitals are being planned for Aston and Springfield Townships in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, with the Aston location already under construction and expected to open in late 2026.
In addition, ChristianaCare was the successful bidder for Crozer Health outpatient centers in Glen Mills, Havertown, Broomall and Media, further strengthening its regional footprint and ability to deliver timely, high-quality care.
A legacy of care in Southeastern Pennsylvania
ChristianaCare’s presence in the region is long-standing. The organization currently provides primary care at three Chester County locations — Kennett Square, Jennersville and West Grove — and recently opened a cardiology practice in West Grove.
In neighboring Delaware County, the Concord Health Center in Chadds Ford offers a wide range of services, including primary care, women’s health, sports medicine and behavioral health.
Together, these sites serve as the medical home for more than 25,000 residents, underscoring ChristianaCare’s deep commitment to delivering accessible, high-quality care where it’s needed most.
