American Academic Health System announced plans in late June to close financially-struggling Hahnemann by Sept. 6. The academic medical center has already ended emergency department services as part of the wind down process.

Now a battle is ongoing in bankruptcy court over payments to creditors, who will provide services during the wind down of the 496-bed academic medical center, according to KYW Newsradio. 

The station reported that Hahnemann took out loans totaling $53 million, part before and part after filing for bankruptcy.
