Major Cuts Announced at Pottstown Hospital, Affecting Staff and Services
November 17, 2025 - 21:33
Tower Health has announced significant layoffs and service reductions at Pottstown Hospital, leaving staff and patients in shock. A total of 131 positions will be eliminated as part of the restructuring, which has raised concerns about the impact on healthcare delivery in the community.
In addition to the job cuts, the hospital will be closing its Intensive Care Unit (ICU), cancer center, and endoscopy center. These closures are expected to create gaps in essential services, making it more difficult for patients to receive critical care locally.
Healthcare workers have expressed feelings of betrayal, stating that the announcement came as a surprise and has left many feeling blindsided. The decision reflects broader challenges facing healthcare institutions, including financial pressures and changing patient needs. As the community grapples with these changes, the future of healthcare services in Pottstown remains uncertain.
