Tower Health first announced the closure of Brandywine in December 2021 in an effort to cut costs. Penn signed a letter of intent to purchase the 171-bed hospital by the end of 2023.

Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

In February, Penn and Tower called off plans to pursue a strategic alliance.
