WILMINGTON, Del. (Oct. 8, 2025) — The State of Delaware and ChristianaCare announced today, an agreement that pauses litigation related to HB350 and establishes a framework to potentially settle the case, with measures aimed at increasing hospital transparency and investing in the state’s healthcare workforce. Under the agreement, ChristianaCare will provide employee claims data to the Delaware Health Information Network to improve transparency and benchmarking. The health system has also committed to negotiate in good faith with the state, other hospitals, and stakeholders on a healthcare workforce loan forgiveness program this fall.
Governor Matt Meyer said the agreement ensures healthcare dollars benefit patients rather than litigation, adding, “Every Delawarean deserves access to world-class, affordable healthcare.” ChristianaCare President and CEO Janice E. Nevin emphasized collaboration and maintaining access to high-quality care while addressing healthcare affordability.
If both parties meet the terms of the agreement, the ongoing HB350 lawsuit will be dismissed, creating a path forward for legislative and operational solutions to healthcare costs in Delaware.
