Providing High-Quality Care Designed for YOU in Camden and Georgetown
ChristianaCare has been serving families like yours every day since 1888, making a difference in the health and well-being of so many. It’s what we enjoy doing and what we do best. We are excited to bring new state-of-the-art neighborhood hospitals and health centers to our neighbors in Camden and Georgetown, Delaware.
We have been hard at work planning for our new campuses, a unique health care model designed with the Camden and Georgetown communities in mind! ChristianaCare is dedicated to providing exceptional care and support, and we look forward to introducing the unique features of our new campus to our neighbors in southern Delaware.
Closing Gaps in Health Care
These new campuses will help close gaps in access by bringing high-quality, equitable and more convenient care directly to communities in Camden and Georgetown that need it most. Our goal is simple: ensure that every Delawarean can access the care they need, in the right place at the right time.”
The Camden and Georgetown campuses are part of ChristianaCare’s $865 million statewide investment to expand and modernize health services across Delaware. Together, these two new sites represent an investment of more than $125 million in the health and wellbeing of our neighbors.
Our Plans
Our new health care campus will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We’ll have a 8-bed inpatient unit for those who require overnight hospital stays, observation and testing.
The emergency department will treat common emergency care needs such as falls, injuries, heart attacks and strokes. We’re also adding a health center that will offer a comprehensive range of outpatient services. These services are expected to include primary and specialty care practices plus an array of other clinical services.
Our goal is to make access to health care easy, convenient and close to home in a way that is sustainable and right sized to meet the needs of local communities.
We are committed to partnering with you in your health – bringing much-needed emergency care and other health care services to our neighbors in Camden and Georgetown! Our goal is to provide high-quality care that is easy, convenient and close to home.
ChristianaCare Health Center
In addition to the emergency department and 10-bed inpatient unit, the second floor will house a health center offering an array of outpatient services tailored to community needs. These services are expected to include primary and specialty care practices, plus other clinical services.
For your ease and convenience, we expect to offer:
- Primary care
- Specialty care
- Imaging
- And more!
Building a Healthier Future for Southern Delaware
As southern Delaware continues to grow—especially among older adults—these new neighborhood hospitals and health centers will make care more local, more connected and more responsive to community needs.
ChristianaCare is committed to working with community partners, local leaders and state agencies to bring these plans to life and build a healthier future for every Delawarean.
Frequently Asked Questions

By establishing neighborhood hospitals and comprehensive health centers in Camden and Georgetown, ChristianaCare is directly addressing these disparities, ensuring that residents have access to essential health services close to home.
- By 2030, the population in Kent and Sussex counties is expected to grow by 8 percent, with the number of residents aged 65 and older increasing even faster: 16 percent in Kent County and 22 percent in Sussex County.

It is more important than ever to expand access to care with these campuses.
These two campuses will serve as anchors for care in their communities, providing convenient access to essential services and clear pathways to advanced care when needed. Supported by virtual consultations, integration with specialty providers and coordinated transport, patients in these communities and throughout Delaware will benefit from a cohesive system designed to deliver the right care in the right place. Each campus strengthens the network, ensuring that high-quality, specialized care remains firmly rooted within the state.
Also called micro-hospitals, neighborhood hospitals are generally small hospitals tailored to the needs of the specific communities they serve. Neighborhood hospitals typically have eight inpatient beds. As a full-service emergency department, neighborhood hospitals treat common emergency care needs such as falls, injuries, heart attacks and strokes. The wait times for treatment at neighborhood hospitals tend to be shorter than at traditional hospitals. Some patients who require additional treatment or observation can be cared for close to home in the neighborhood hospital inpatient care area.
