WGFC Participates at New Hospital Open House

 
July 27, 2025
 

First responders from across the area including from the West Grove Fire Company were part of an open house celebration of the arrival of a new ER in Jennersville.

Engine 22-1, Squad 22, Ladder 22 and WGFC ambulances were on display as hundreds of local residents lined up to get a sneak peak tour of the new ER which now plans to open August 12. Christiana Care has renovated the former east wing of the Jennersville Hospital and will operate a 24-hour-per-day emergency department, an opening highly anticipated ever since the closing of JRH several years ago.

A large health fair was set up in the parking lot, with information stations, food trucks and games for kids all while tours were offered of the 20-bed facility. For more information on the new emergency department, see the links below.

 
Units: Engine 22-1, Squad 22, Ladder 22, Ambulance 22-1 and 22-2
