Waterbury and Prospect Medical Holdings are in a legal dispute over the city's demands for details of Waterbury Hospital's estimated worth in a state tax appeal, coinciding with bankruptcy proceedings in North Texas that directly affect the hospital's future [6]. A state judge is scheduled to hear arguments on May 7 regarding the city's discovery requests for deposition testimony and records that Prospect Medical Holdings has contested [6]. The city claims its appraiser requires the subpoenaed records to complete the appraisal of Waterbury Hospital and that the contested topics for deposition witnesses are relevant to the tax appeal [6]. Prospect Medical Holdings is seeking bankruptcy court approval to sell Waterbury Hospital and two other Prospect-owned hospitals in Connecticut [6]. Prospect Waterbury Inc. filed a lawsuit against Waterbury in March 2023, contesting the city’s updated $171,714,900 assessment of the hospital’s buildings and grounds [6].

A Pennsylvania House Democrat announced that there have been calls for a criminal investigation of Prospect Medical Holdings and resources for those affected by Crozer Health Layoffs [17]. Prospect Medical Holdings announced the closure of Crozer-Chester Medical Center and Taylor Hospital, which is devastating for Delaware County. Colleagues have asked the Attorney General to open a criminal investigation into Prospect's current and former owners, including those who benefited from $457 million in dividends paid after Prospect sold Crozer's real estate in 2019 [17]. They have also asked him to petition Judge Stacey Jernigan to require Prospect to pay for ambulance coverage at Crozer-Chester Medical Center for sixteen weeks post-closing and petition her to claw back the $40 million that has been invested since Prospect declared bankruptcy in January in an effort to prevent a closure [17].

Delaware County has issued an emergency declaration following news that Prospect Medical Holdings is closing Crozer-Chester Medical Center and Taylor Hospital [18]. The county was informed by Prospect Medical Holdings' Chief Restructuring Officer, Paul Rundell, of the plans to begin formal closure proceedings for both hospitals [18]. The declaration will be in effect for 7 days, unless extended by the Delaware County Council [18]. Prospect has established a dedicated call center for inquiries related to the hospital transition, including requests regarding patient transfer and care [18]. Delaware County is also in the process of filing an objection to Prospect's closure motion, citing that it is inadequate and does not comply with local law [18].
