Beebe Specialty Surgical Hospital ranks among top

Beebe Healthcare’s Specialty Surgical Hospital in Rehoboth Beach has been recognized as one of 15 of the top rural hospitals in the country by the Leapfrog Group.

The award reflects Beebe’s commitment and excellence to provide the best-quality and safest care for Sussex County

Top hospitals are identified by excellent rankings in a variety of quality and patient safety measures, including low infection rates, surgical safety, error prevention, ethical billing and ensuring patients provide informed consent for procedures.

Beebe was the only hospital in Delaware to receive this accolade.

“Beebe Healthcare's strategic vision is built on a foundation of quality and safety,” said Dr. David A. Tam, Beebe Healthcare president and CEO. “To be the healthcare provider of choice in Sussex County, it's imperative to offer quality and safe care that is accessible to all people, and awards like these show our commitment is evident in every aspect of our operations and five-year strategic plan. Congratulations to the many teams who helped achieve this honor that is reflective of our entire healthcare system.”

Beebe Specialty Surgical Hospital opened in May 2022, packed with the latest innovations and technologies to streamline operative care for patients with a wide range of medical needs. Primarily serving bariatric, breast and orthopaedic patients for short-stay and outpatient procedures, the surgical hospital has quickly earned a reputation as a destination for surgery.

The hospital utilizes robotic surgical systems, and minimally invasive and navigation-based tools to optimize the process of surgical care, so Beebe patients typically see shorter stays and faster recovery times, allowing them to get back to their optimal level of health.
