Delaware County has issued a statement debunking claims that Delaware County Memorial Hospital and Springfield Hospital will be converted to house immigrants. Some social media posts also claim that the county council voted on the decision to use the hospitals to house immigrants. Both hospitals are owned by Prospect Medical Holdings and are currently for sale. The county does not have the authority to vote on the use of the buildings. To ease the concerns of residents, the county contacted Prospect Medical Holdings and were informed that the rumors circulating are absolutely false, and that Delaware County Memorial Hospital and Springfield Hospital will not be converted to house immigrants.
