Newark, Del.-based ChristianaCare has submitted a notice of intent to the Delaware Health Resources Board to develop a new health campus in Camden, Del., that will include a neighborhood hospital and health center.
Five things to know:
1. The proposed 38,000-square-foot campus is expected to open in late 2028 or early 2029 and will bring primary care, specialty care and outpatient services together in one location, according to an April 30 ChristianaCare news release. The project will include eight emergency department beds and eight inpatient beds.
2. The Camden campus represents a $58.1 million investment, according to the release. The project will create 83 new jobs for the community, including 60 at the hospital and 23 at the health center.
3. The campus will be located in an area designated as medically underserved by the Health Resources and Services Administration. The region is growing, and by 2030, the population in central and southern Delaware is expected to increase by 8%, with residents aged 65 and older expected to grow by 22%.
4. The new campus is part of ChristianaCare’s plans to invest more than $865 million across the state through 2028.
5. In February, ChristianaCare submitted a notice of intent to build a $65.1 million health campus in Georgetown, Del. The 42,000-square-foot campus is expected to open in late 2028.
