Jennersville Hospital in West Grove, Penn. will close at the end of 2021. (Courtesy of Tower Health) Tower Health, a regional Pennsylvania health care system, issued a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) notice this week in anticipation of closing one of its hospitals. It is one of many financial moves the system is making.
“Early in the pandemic, the government mandated the shutdown of all nonessential health care services,” Richard Wells, Tower Health communications and government relations director told The Epoch Times in a phone interview. “It had a huge negative impact on our financial performance.”
The closing of the 63-bed Jennersville Hospital in West Grove was originally announced in late September. A WARN notice must be issued by an employer through the Department of Labor 60 days before a mass layoff, described as 50 or more workers. It gives employees time to search for new work and to work with unemployment offices.
Tower Health will lay off 293 workers by Dec. 31 at Jennersville Hospital, Jennersville Family Medicine, West Grove of PA Associates, and West Grove Clinic. Jennersville Hospital had been underperforming financially before the pandemic, Wells said, but the entire system suffered during the pandemic.
The health care system is also transferring ownership of Chestnut Hill Hospital and more than a dozen Tower Health urgent care centers to Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic; and forming an alliance with Penn Medicine which will develop over time, Wells said.
“Tower Heath remains independent,” Well said. “We are in the midst of a financial turnaround. We have had to take a number of actions to close out our operating losses.”
In June 2020, the health system cut 1,000 jobs and closed the maternity ward at Pottstown Hospital in Montgomery County.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
