Bayhealth announces collaboration with Nemours for
pediatric & senior services at new health campus
On Sept. 22, Bayhealth hosted an event at Abbott’s Grill in Milford, Del. Bayhealth leaders, board members, civic leaders, physicians, and community members were on hand to hear updates about the organization’s new health campus in Sussex County – slated for completion in 2019.
At the event, Bayhealth President & CEO Terry Murphy, FACHE, announced that an agreement had been made with Nemours to provide pediatric and senior care at the new health campus.
“I’m pleased to announce an agreement with Nemours to provide specialty care at our new health campus in Milford,” said Bayhealth President & CEO Terry Murphy, FACHE. “Nemours pediatricians will care for children, and Nemours SeniorCare will provide retirees with hearing and vision services.”
As part of the agreement, Nemours will have a dedicated area for development on the new health campus plan. The facility will be positioned on the front of the property and will be easily accessible to patients and visitors.
Brent R. King, MD, Enterprise Vice President for Nemours and Chief Medical Officer (CMO) of the Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, spoke to the audience following Murphy’s announcement. “Our relationship with Bayhealth is one of professional collaboration in pursuit of a larger goal – to give Delawareans access to the best possible care, in their communities, no matter their age.”
The Nemours/Bayhealth collaboration demonstrates that this new health campus will be more than just a hospital – it will redefine health care in Sussex County. The 165-acre property will also provide convenient outpatient services such as primary care, specialty physicians and diagnostic testing – all in one location. Bayhealth’s goal is to provide many different services at one location to maximize the community’s access to the best health care in the region.
