MILLSBORO, DE – TidalHealth is moving forward with plans to build a new health campus off Route 113 near Millsboro, a project expected to cost around $100 million. The development, which was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will expand medical services in the area by housing multiple buildings dedicated to primary care, specialty care, and surgical procedures.
The campus is set to be one of TidalHealth’s largest primary care centers, with a variety of specialty services including cardiology, ear, nose, and throat care, and gastroenterology. Officials say increased development in the region has contributed to the growing demand for healthcare providers, with a recent physician needs assessment showing the service area growing at twice the national average.
Many local residents have voiced concerns about the difficulty of finding medical providers as the population increases. Some say it can take months to secure a doctor’s appointment, emphasizing the need for expanded healthcare access.
TidalHealth plans to break ground on the new campus in April. The first building is expected to be completed within 18 to 20 months, with additional buildings to follow.
