Molly Jong-Fast's memoir about her famous mom is sad, dishy and relatable
Molly Jong-Fast did not want to write 'a book like this.' What kind of book is that? One that tells 'the story of what happens when the bottom falls out, when all the tests come back bad, when the doctors tell you there's nothing more they can do.' Jong-Fast's book 'How to Lose Your Mother' is, in short, 'the story of the worst year of my life.'

Springfield, Pennsylvania, commissioners approve micro-hospital, despite opposition from some residents
ChristianaCare has announced Springfield as its second location for a micro-hospital in Delaware County. This comes after the Springfield board of commissioners approved the project during a meeting Wednesday night. Eighty townhomes will be built near the micro-hospital. Some residents at the meeting expressed concerns about ambulance noise, traffic and stormwater runoff. ChristianaCare "I have mixed feelings about it," Gary Lockman from Springfield said. "Generally, I'm in favor of it. I think we need it. I know it doesn't replace the hospitals that have closed." The micro-hospital won't be as large as a full-scale hospital, but ChristianaCare said it will include 10 inpatient beds with an emergency room equipped to handle heart attacks, strokes, injuries and falls. Springfield solicitor Jim Byrne said the project will create jobs and generate more than a million dollars every year in tax revenue. "We believe the hospital will take all reasonable steps to minimize any impact on the surrounding residents, but the commissioners have to look at what's best for the whole town," Byrne said. ChristianaCare The new facility will be 2.5 miles from Springfield Hospital, which closed down three years ago. "I think it'll be good because we seem to be running out of hospitals with the closing of Crozer," Mike Whelan from Springfield said. The Springfield micro-hospital is set to open in late 2026. ChristianaCare's micro-hospital in Aston is set to open in late 2026 to early 2027.
