Healthcare organization ChristianaCare (Newark, Del.) plans to invest more than $865 million to expand access to care across Delaware over the next three years, according to a ChristianaCare news release.
The news comes after the health system invested more than $375 million in the state over a three-year period, according to the news release.
The first of these new investments to break ground will be the 87,000-square-foot ChristianaCare Health Center at Middletown that is being planned on undeveloped land surrounding a freestanding emergency department in Middletown, Del. Construction of the health center is slated to begin in 2025, and the new facility is expected to open in early 2027.
Other plans include expansion of ChristianaCare’s primary care, behavioral health, cancer care, and specialty/surgical care presence across the state, including the partnership announced last year with Atlas Healthcare Partners (Phoenix) to create an ambulatory surgery center network in Delaware and across the mid-Atlantic region.
