Media events to be held Friday, Jan. 27, in Rehoboth and Laurel

In an effort to help address growing health care needs in southern Delaware, ChristianaCare is launching direct, local access to the state’s most dynamic health system in both eastern and western Sussex County.

Sussex County is federally designated as a Medically Underserved Area for primary care.

By 2025, Sussex County is projected to have approximately 256,000 residents. Nearly 77,000 – or 30% – of those will be 65 or older, far higher than the national figure of 17%.

Media are invited to learn more about ChristianaCare’s new offerings and how they are helping to address these challenges.
