❗MUST READ - Health System Protection Act Stalled❗. This legislation is being held up in an effort to remove nursing homes from the bill. What interests are being prioritized over our seniors?. I say NOTHING should come before patient care.

Nursing homes seek a carveout from legislation that would provide oversight of health care acquisitions and aim to prevent facility closures.

Another successful #NationalNightOut in Delaware County. From Marple Township, Ridley, Springfield, Prospect Park, Lansdown and Upper Darby, team Kearney was present & eager to be part of the festivities. Kudos to everyone who helped to make celebration in their town a success.

Happy #NationalInternDay! . Grateful for my 2️⃣ summer interns, Erin & Jared, who've spent the last few weeks with our office. As they gear up for the fall semester, I want to thank them for their hard work, fresh perspective, & willingness to tackle new projects/initiatives.

SEPTA keeps Delco and SE PA moving, but more importantly, it's an economic driver for the entire Commonwealth. I'm fighting for transit funding in the stalled budget because our workers, students & seniors can't afford cuts. We need the Senate GOP to get on board! #FundSEPTA

Remember Crozer? Now Genesis HealthCare. Another private equity-backed company collapsing! This time with 42 nursing homes. This is why we need #HB1460 AND we need to keep nursing homes in the bill!!. @gill_mcgoldrick @InqBrubaker.

Private equity is quietly looting nursing homes across Pennsylvania. 🔻Cutting staff.🔻Ignoring medical care.🔻Failing inspections. Now they want to avoid accountability. We can’t REMOVE nursing homes from AG oversight in #HB1460! . #ProtectOurSeniors

Another reason we need to pass #HB1460. ⬇️. Genesis HealthCare just filed for bankruptcy—jeopardizing PA nursing homes. Same playbook as Crozer. We need #HB1460 to stop the looting before it starts. Our seniors deserve better. #PatientsOverProfits.

Chester County-based Genesis operates 42 facilities in Pennsylvania and a total of 175 across the country.

Now that the House has passed HB1460, it’s the Senate’s turn to advance this critical legislation. I penned this op-ed to ensure the issue stays on everyone’s radar because we can’t afford to let another hospital system fall apart.

This Memorial Day, remember not all travel means highways &airports. For many, it's a SEPTA ride to a BBQ/family event. My colleagues & I rode the Paoli/Thorndale line to a recent rally pushing for transit funding. Without it, more cuts, more traffic & fewer options. #FundSEPTA
