Support for ChristianaCare's microhospital

Medical care in Sussex County needs improvements. Bayhealth, Beebe Healthcare and TidalHealth challenged ChristianaCare's plan to build a microhospital in Georgetown. It took me over three months to schedule a specialty physician appointment. Recently, I traveled to ChristianaCare in Newark to get a timely MRI appointment, as they were scheduling over six weeks out in the Lewes area.

ChristianaCare has suggested a plan to improve medical services in Sussex County. Bayhealth, Beebe and TidalHealth are opposing ChristianaCare's mircohospital plan.

I, for one, think it's a great idea. Bayhealth, Beebe and TidalHealth, what are your plans for fixing the medical shortage in our county?
