Christiana Care Health System is looking at spending $250 million to expand the hospital’s facilities.
The expansion ranges from adding 70 single-family rooms to its neonatal intensive care unit and an eight-story patient tower to a 10-bed nursery for babies born with a drug dependence condition.
The Delaware Health Resources Board, which is part of a state agency that oversees the number of beds in Delaware’s hospitals and nursing homes, is expected to take up the proposal at its meeting today.
Chief Executive Officer Dr. Janice Nevin issued a letter saying that the proposal would transform the hospital that would allow for not only new models for care and better integration of services.
