Today, ChristianaCare officially opened ChristianaCare Hospital, Aston, restoring around-the-clock emergency and inpatient care in a community where access has been limited.
Located at 700 Turner Industrial Way, the new neighborhood hospital provides 24/7 emergency care, inpatient services and advanced imaging close to home. The facility includes 10 inpatient beds and a full-service emergency department equipped to treat common emergencies such as falls, injuries, heart attacks and strokes. Patients also have access to CT scans, X-rays, ultrasound, lab services and virtual consults with specialists in areas like cardiology, infectious disease, critical care and hospital medicine.
ChristianaCare Hospital, Aston is designed to deliver high-quality care in a modern, patient-centered setting, helping patients get the care they need quickly and conveniently without leaving their community.
“This is about bringing care closer to home,” said Janice E. Nevin, M.D., MPH, president and CEO of ChristianaCare. “When someone is having an emergency, every minute matters. Today, we are proud to open a hospital that makes it easier for people in this community to get the timely, high-quality care they deserve, close to their families and support systems.”
The hospital is the first phase of the Aston Campus. An outpatient health center on the second floor is expected to open in fall 2026, expanding access to primary care, cardiology, imaging and other services.
ChristianaCare Hospital, Aston is expected to serve about 15,000 patients each year, or about 40 a day, and is part of ChristianaCare’s growing network of neighborhood hospitals across the region. Emerus Holdings, Inc., the nation’s leading developer of neighborhood hospitals, will manage day-to-day operations, drawing on nearly two decades of experience operating neighborhood hospitals nationwide.
