ChristianaCare buys Georgetown property for $6.75M. GEORGETOWN - ChristianaCare has purchased a $6.75 million three-parcel site for its planned $65 million Georgetown health campus at 20769 DuPont Blvd., according to Sussex County property records. Christiana Care Health System Inc. purchased the property at 20769 DuPont Blvd. on Aug. 13 from Rojan GT 724 LLC; that owner had previously purchased the property in October 2024 for $3.48 million. "ChristianaCare recently completed the purchase of the property for our proposed Georgetown Campus, marking another important milestone in the project," Pauline Corso, president of Ambulatory Network Continuity and Growth at ChristianaCare, told the Delaware Business Times in a prepared statement. - Advertisement - "The campus is designed to expand access to care in Sussex County by combining a comprehensive health center with a neighborhood hospital, bringing a wide range of services closer to where people live," she added. "The project remains subject to the required regulatory and local approvals." As previously reported by DBT, ChristianaCare announced plans in February to build a 42,000-square-foot campus on the Route 13 property at an estimated cost of $65.1 million. The health system expected the campus to open in late 2028, but a regulatory wrinkle may challenge those plans. The project would include a comprehensive health center offering primary, specialty, behavioral health and other outpatient services alongside a smaller-scale neighborhood hospital. Plans call for eight emergency department beds and eight inpatient beds. ChristianaCare is partnering with Emerus on the neighborhood hospital portion of the project. Emerus specializes in the model and operates or partners in more than 45 acute-care facilities nationwide. ChristianaCare has already worked with the company on similar facilities outside of Delaware, including its West Grove campus in southern Chester County. The Georgetown campus is part of ChristianaCare's previously announced $865 million investment in Delaware over three years which includes projects throughout the state. The health system has also proposed a similar neighborhood hospital and health center in Camden as it expands its footprint farther into central and southern Delaware.

The newly acquired Georgetown property is also moving through Delaware's Brownfield program. The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) is negotiating a Brownfields Development Agreement with ChristianaCare covering the three parcels, according to the department. The state said the site may have experienced a release of hazardous substances as a result of historical activities there. A Brownfields Development Agreement establishes the scope and schedule for any remediation required as a property is redeveloped. DNREC's public comment period on the agreement is scheduled to close Aug. 31. As reported by Spotlight Delaware, the proposal also faces questions in the state regulatory process as Bayhealth recently asked the Delaware Health Resources Board to delay consideration of ChristianaCare's proposed Georgetown and Camden neighborhood hospitals. The letter asked the board to examine questions surrounding the projects' ownership and governance structure with for-profit partner Emerus, including whether the arrangement complies with Senate Bill 313. Signed into law by Gov. Matt Meyer in July, Senate Bill 313 established a two-year moratorium on certain acquisitions of nonprofit acute-care hospitals by for-profit entities and expanded state oversight of transactions involving nonprofit hospitals and their real estate. - Digital Partners -

Turf battle brewing: Bayhealth questions ChristianaCare's proposed hospitals. * adriana myers * Aug 26, 2026 updated 17 hrs ago. CAMDEN, Del. - A debate over ChristianaCare's proposed neighborhood hospitals downstate is now before Delaware health regulators, as Bayhealth asks the state to answer some big questions before approving the plans. ChristianaCare is proposing a neighborhood hospital, also referred to as a microhospital, in Camden that would include eight emergency department beds and eight inpatient beds. The same model is also proposed for a facility in Georgetown. In an Aug. 14 letter to the Delaware Health Resources Board, Bayhealth asked regulators to defer further substantive review of the applications while questions surrounding the proposed facilities are answered. Bayhealth argues Delaware law does not define a "microhospital," and state Certificate of Public Review statutes and regulations do not establish the legal characteristics, licensing status or operating standards for that type of facility. In a statement to WBOC, Bayhealth said it has "significant questions" regarding the proposed Georgetown and Camden hospitals and is "not an outlier" in its opposition. Bayhealth said it will continue to address its concerns through the state's regulatory process, with a focus on what it described as responsible and sustainable healthcare planning. For some residents, however, the proposed Camden facility represents the possibility of more local access to healthcare. "We only have one hospital around here, one major hospital," Tony Dolce said. "As you can see, the increasing traffic can tell you how much the city is growing. Dover and Kent County are growing." ChristianaCare said its proposed Camden and Georgetown campuses are intended to help meet growing demand in Kent and Sussex counties. "These proposed campuses are designed to address growing health care needs in Kent and Sussex counties, where community health assessments continue to identify challenges in accessing care and where population growth, particularly among older adults, is increasing demand for services," Dr. Vinay Maheshwari with ChristianaCare said. The Delaware Health Resources Board has not yet made the determinations Bayhealth is requesting. A public hearing on the proposed microhospitals will be held soon.
