MILLSBORO, Del.- Beebe Healthcare is set to break ground Dec. 17 on a major health campus expansion. Officials say the new addition is designed to bring emergency and outpatient services closer to people who live in central Sussex County.
According to the organization, the ceremony will take place from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. in a heated tent at the new Millsboro Health Campus, located off Sheep Pen Road and Route 20. Beebe leadership and local leaders are expected to speak about expanding access to care in one of Sussex County’s fastest-growing areas.
Officials say the presentation will feature a hybrid freestanding emergency department. The area includes pediatric emergency rooms, walk-in care, imaging services such as outpatient MRI, lab services, a retail pharmacy and space for future medical offices.
Beebe Healthcare said the campus aims to reduce long-standing travel challenges for locals seeking emergency care, a need that continues to grow as Millsboro rapidly expands.
The event is open to the public. Attendees are asked to RSVP and wear appropriate footwear for gravel, dirt and uneven ground.
To arrive at the new Millsboro Health Campus, if coming from the Lewes campus, Beebe Healthcare says drivers should: Head west on Route 24 and just past Mountaire Farms, continue straight onto Route 20 at the new intersection of Route 24/Route 20. Follow Route 20 bypass over Route 113 and take the second left onto Sheep Pen Road. The groundbreaking will take place on the left.
