\nNew health center and neighborhood hospital will bring high quality care closer to central Delaware residents<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/a>
<\/a><\/p>\n

WILMINGTON, Del.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ChristianaCare has taken another major step to expand access to high quality care across Delaware by submitting a Notice of Intent to the Delaware Health Resources Board to develop a new health campus in Camden. Like the Georgetown campus<\/a> announced in February, the proposed campus will include a health center and a neighborhood hospital and is part of the $865 million statewide commitment announced last July.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cFor many people in central Delaware, getting timely emergency or specialty care can still mean long drives or long waits,\u201d said Janice E. Nevin, M.D., MPH, president and CEO of ChristianaCare. \u201cWe are investing in facilities that bring care closer to where people live. This campus reflects our commitment to ensuring every Delawarean, no matter their ZIP code, can count on timely, compassionate, high quality care close to home.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nClosing Care Gaps in Central and Southern Delaware
\n
<\/b>The approximately 38,000\u2011square\u2011foot Camden campus will be located on the west side of Route 13, just south of Lochmeath Way. It is expected to open in late 2028 or early 2029 and will bring primary care, specialty care and outpatient services together in one location, supported by eight emergency department beds and eight inpatient beds. The project will create 83 new jobs for the community, including 60 positions at the neighborhood hospital and 23 at the health center.<\/p>\n

\nKent and Sussex counties are both designated as Medically Underserved Areas by the Health Resources and Services Administration. At the same time, the region is growing quickly. By 2030, the population in central and southern Delaware is expected to increase by 8 percent, with residents aged 65 and older growing even faster, by 22 percent.<\/p>\n

\nShortages in primary care, behavioral health and specialty services have forced many residents to travel long distances for care. The Camden campus will help change that by bringing essential services closer to home.<\/p>\n

\nExpanding Capacity on a Strong Foundation
\n
<\/b>The Camden campus represents a $58.1 million investment and reflects ChristianaCare\u2019s focus on access, coordination and community need.<\/p>\n

\nChristianaCare already provides a broad range of services in Kent County, including primary care, specialty care, behavioral health, rehabilitation, home health, hospice and virtual care. The Camden campus will build on this foundation by increasing capacity and making care more convenient as demand grows.<\/p>\n

\nPartnering to Deliver Care Close to Home
\n
<\/b>ChristianaCare is partnering with Emerus Holdings, Inc. on the neighborhood hospital component. Emerus is the nation\u2019s leading developer of this model, with 49 acute care facilities across the country.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cCommunities are stronger when people can depend on care close to home,\u201d said Vic Schmerbeck, CEO of Emerus Holdings, Inc. \u201cWe are proud to partner with ChristianaCare to deliver a neighborhood hospital that provides high quality care in a setting designed around the needs of the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nGrowing Access Across the Region
\n
<\/b>The ChristianaCare Georgetown campus is planned for 20769 DuPont Boulevard at an estimated cost of $65.1 million.<\/p>\n

\nChristianaCare is also expanding this innovative care model beyond Delaware. In July 2025, the system opened a neighborhood hospital at its West Grove Campus<\/a> in southern Chester County, Pennsylvania. Additional campuses are planned in Springfield and Aston in Delaware County, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n
