We’re here offering safe care. Please visit our COVID-19 resource page or call our COVID-19 Hotline at 610-447-6730. If your doctor gives you a prescription to get tested for COVID-19, call 1-844-CK-CARES to register. Your doctor's office will need to fax a signed order to (610) 447 2794 at least 24 hours prior to your appointment. Please arrive at your scheduled time with your Insurance card and ID. We will be unable to do testing without photo ID.

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 immediately. Delaware County Memorial Hospital is an emergency room, commonly called an E.R., providing critical and life saving healthcare services to patients throughout theDrexel Hill area through their location at501 N Lansdowne Ave. They are required by law to be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, even on national holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas.

While their availability can be enticing, you should really only visit an E.R. if you absolutely have to as they can be quite expensive and have much longer wait times than an walk-in urgent care center. In fact, some insurance carriers have begun to refuse paying for emergency room visits that were in fact non-emergent. An interesting fact that about 50% of emergency room diagnosis could be addressed at a quicker, less expensive urgent care center.
