Medicaid policy changes coming in 2027 will undoubtedly change hospital operations and impact Delawareans substantially. It was one of the many topics DHA President & CEO Brian Frazee highlighted on the recent Chief Healthcare Executive “Changes” video series.

Delaware is a special place and a state of neighbors. Our small size is our strength when it comes to collaboration and making progress - it’s imperative to continue working together to educate patients and inform providers of next steps. Our healthcare needs continue to grow as the fifth oldest and sixth fastest growing state in the country, requiring greater access to care and a stronger workforce to meet increasing demand. At the same time, hospitals are being asked to do more with less at both the federal and state levels. In spite of these challenges, Delaware hospitals invest in people, cutting-edge treatment, and high-quality facilities to provide patients with the best possible care 24/7/365.

Thank you to our hospitals for always answering the call to serve!

Teamwork saves lives! We’re highlighting a collaboration TidalHealth Nanticoke and Beebe Healthcare to support a family with four children who had been involved in a rollover crash. Kristie Hull, BSN, RN, trauma program manager at TidalHealth Nanticoke and a Child Passenger Safety Technician, provided car and booster seats, educated the caregivers, engaged with the children and worked alongside Beebe’s team to help ensure the family could leave safely. Hull (second from left in the photo) also worked with Beebe’s trauma team on the development of their car seat program. Great work, teams!

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a time to come together and highlight what we can do as a community to support survivors. We also want to give a special recognition to our frontline health providers — doctors, forensic nurse examiners, social workers, and all team members — who work tirelessly to heal and ensure survivors have what they need to thrive.

Your work is so meaningful and makes a difference.

We had the honor of sponsoring the Delaware Coalition Against Domestic Violence’s Purple Ribbon event this week - an annual convening to uplift this issue, honor individuals who champion solutions and collaborate with one another. Congratulations to DCADV on a successful event and future partnerships!

October is Health Literacy Month! Kudos to the Health Literacy Council of Delaware for bringing stakeholders together and raising awareness. Did you know that one-third of Delawareans find health information difficult to understand?

Health literacy is essential to supporting healthy communities. When people can access, understand, and use health information, communities thrive. This month, let’s work together to make health literacy a priority in Delaware. We're proud to be engaged with our members on this Council.
