Crozer Health Closure
Rutledge Borough Council is aware of and monitoring the upcoming closure of Crozer Health. The Chair of the Delaware County Council, Dr. Monica Taylor, has issued a Declaration of Disaster Emergency.
In the April 21st Borough Council meeting, council members and our mayor had a lengthy discussion and plan to assess how this will affect our community. We will continue to communicate updates as they become available.
For questions regarding hospital transition, including requests regarding patient transfers and care, you can reach out to the dedicated line: 888-801-2338.
For other assistance, Delaware County residents can also contact the Delaware County Health Department's Wellness Line at 484-276-2100.
If you have feedback or commentary, please feel free to reach out to the Borough Office at rutledg...@gmail.com or join us in a Borough Council meeting on the first or third Monday of the month for public comment.

In honor of Earth Day, Rutledge presents its first ever SWAP DAY! Can’t wait for the Borough Yard Sale in September? Reduce & Reuse at Rutledge Swap Day!
Bring your good condition items that you just don’t use anymore to Borough Hall on Saturday April 26th
Peruse what your neighbors have brought and give an item a new home!
If your items aren’t swapped out, you will be asked to take them back home at the end of the event.
For the kids, we will have a Milk jug Greenhouse activity
Bring your own gallon or 2 liter jug and we will show the kids how to create a mini-greenhouse to start their seeds.
Potting mix and seeds will be provided free.

Next Yard Waste is Friday May 2nd!
Beginning in May, we will return to First Fridays. We will have two collections monthly from June through November on first and third Fridays.
