TidalHealth begins outpatient campus project
TidalHealth has officially broken ground on its new Millsboro North Campus, a 150,000-square-foot outpatient health care facility set to be the health system’s largest to date.
Located at the intersection of Routes 113 and 20 in Millsboro, Delaware, the multi-phase campus will expand access to primary, specialty and diagnostic care for Sussex County residents. The first building, expected to open in 18 to 24 months, will house a primary and specialty care office, imaging services, a pharmacy, laboratory and additional outpatient services.
“The TidalHealth Millsboro North Campus is a game-changer for health care in Sussex County,” Steve Leonard, president and CEO of TidalHealth, said in a press release. “We’re bringing the full strength and support of our health system to this growing community.”
Plans also call for a fully functional ambulatory surgery center (ASC) to break ground within the next 12 months, with a third building in the planning phase. Once fully operational, the campus is expected to employ between 350 and 500 team members.
The campus will eventually offer services in orthopedics, cardiology, urology, rheumatology, endocrinology and more, with no inpatient beds on site. Patients requiring hospitalization will be referred to TidalHealth Nanticoke or Peninsula Regional.
