Patient Surge from Crozer Closing Boosted Main Line Health Revenue

Riddle Hospital in Media, part of Main Line Health, and Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital in Darby received a boost in state funding to cope with extra patients from the closing of Crozer Health.

An increase in patients from Crozer Health’s closing is partly responsible for Main Line Health reversing a $61 million loss last year with a $4 million gain in operating income for 2025, writes John George for Philadelphia Business Journal.

Revenue increased 10 percent to $2.62 billion in fiscal 2025 ending June 30.

Net patient revenue rose 10 percent to $2.5 billion in 2025.  

CEO Edward Jimenez said there are plans to add an urgent care center in the parking lot at Riddle Hospital in Media to deal with the surge in patients following Crozer Health’s closing earlier this year.  

Jimenez said the health system’s growth strategy includes “bringing care closer to where people live, in a way that’s convenient and accessible.”

Expense management also played a role in Main Line Health’s turnaround, with a January workforce reduction of about 200 non-clinical employees, renegotiated vendor contracts, and an accounting change, said CFO Leigh Ehrlich.

Main Line Health‘s expenses rose 6.5 percent to $2.61 billion, up from $2.45 billion in fiscal 2024.

Main Line Health is the parent company for Riddle Hospital in Media, Lankenau Medical Center, Bryn Mawr, and Paoli hospitals.
