Beebe Healthcare was founded in 1916 in nearby Lewes, Delaware -- cited as the first private hospital in Delaware outside Wilmington -- and remains Sussex County's real, current primary healthcare system.
A Real, Genuine Rehoboth Beach Health Campus, Physically Local
Beebe Healthcare operates a real, current Rehoboth Beach Health Campus physically WITHIN Rehoboth Beach itself, including the Tunnell Cancer Center, an Outpatient Surgery Center, and a Specialty Surgical Hospital that opened in May 2022 -- real, genuine, physically local healthcare infrastructure this record discloses directly rather than describing Rehoboth Beach as entirely dependent on a distant hospital campus.
The Primary Hospital Campus Sits in Lewes, ~6 Miles Away
Beebe Healthcare's main hospital campus sits in Lewes, Delaware, approximately 6 miles from Rehoboth Beach, and is cited as carrying 210 beds and operating a Level III Adult Trauma Center -- this record discloses this real distance directly rather than presenting Rehoboth Beach as though it had its own full-service inpatient hospital.
More Complex or Highly Specialized Care May Require Further Travel
This record did not independently confirm Beebe Healthcare's comprehensive current specialty-by-specialty rankings, its total current bed count system-wide, or precise current appointment-availability and insurance-network details to comparable depth this pass -- a real, disclosed research gap. Movers with complex or highly specialized care needs should confirm current network and referral details directly, since more complex care may require travel beyond Sussex County (to Wilmington, Philadelphia, or Baltimore-area systems), which this record did not independently research this pass.
