Drs. James and Richard constructed the hospital on cement blocks, and inside its walls was just enough space for two patient rooms and an office. The brothers were joined by a staff of two nurses and Dr. James Beebe’s wife Elsie, who did all the cooking for the hospital. Benjamin F. and Helen M. Shaw were benevolent gift-givers to the hospital who donated two wings. The first, which was completed in 1921, raised the bed capacity to 35. The Shaws donated another wing in 1927 in memory of their daughter, Natalie Townsend Shaw. The second wing brought the total bed capacity to 60. The five-story Lynch Wing, started in 1962 as a two-story building and expanded by 1970, was the first major addition to Beebe in 25 years. When it was first constructed, it was considered by hospital authorities to be one of the most modern hospital facilities in the region. Beebe offers chemotherapy services. Beebe Medical Foundation Bookhammer Outpatient Center at the Beebe Health Campus Beebe Medical Foundation is established under the guidance of its Chairman, the Honorable Eugene Bookhammer. Bookhammer Outpatient Center at the Beebe Health Campus opens to serve patients west of Route One for outpatient services, including diagnostic imaging, mammography, express testing, and physical therapy. 1916 2 1992 & 1994 Cardiac Catheterization Laparoscopic Hysterectomy 1992: Vincent Killeen, MD, performs the first total laparoscopic hysterectomy. 1994: Dr. Killeen and Steven D. Berlin, MD, perform the first total laparoscopic hysterectomy together. 1980 Orthopaedic Surgery James P. Marvel, Jr., MD, is the first Board Certified orthopaedic surgeon at Beebe. First diagnostic cardiac catheterization is performed at Beebe. 1999 2006 Emergency Department Expansion Tunnell Cancer Center Beebe expands the Lewes Emergency Department from 12 to 18 beds. Tunnell Cancer Center moves into a new building at the Beebe Health Campus on Rt. 24. 1921 1967 1983 1985 2000 2007 Beebe School of Nursing Thoracic Surgery Rollins Wing The Beebe School of Nursing was founded in 1921, at the request of a young girl seeking advanced nursing education in her hometown. The physical growth of the school came quite later with the dedication of the Jean Ellen duPont McConnell Nurses Home in 1960. First AAA Repair Cardiac Surgery Anis K. Saliba, MD, is the first Board Certified thoracic surgeon at Beebe. Millville Services Beebe adds its five-story Rollins Wing, named for John W. Rollins. The new structure, coupled with renovations to the Lynch Wing, now boasts 58 state-of-the-art patient rooms, a critical care unit, consolidation of an outpatient treatment center and same-day surgery, and expansion of diagnostic imaging and emergency services. Mayer Katz, MD, performs Beebe’s first endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. The Cardiac Surgery program begins, opening the doors for a continually expanding Cardiac program. Beacon / november 2013 1938 Thompson Wing Beebe Hospital’s solarium was one of the many overused facilities that received a reprieve with the construction of the four-story Thompson Wing in the mid 1930s. The new structure upgraded the capacity for more patients, with six new rooms, and provided new nursing quarters, operating facilities, and a kitchen and dining room. A summer healthcare facility in Millville offers care for the growing number of vacationers crossing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge following its expansion in 1973. 1995 Patient Satisfaction Beebe begins measuring patient satisfaction feedback. Clinical Building Tunnell Cancer Center, which brought the first Radiation Oncology program to Sussex County, opens. Award-winning Orthopedic Services Healthgrades® ranks Beebe Healthcare in the top 5% in the nation for overall Orthopedic Services. Beebe Healthcare More Than a Hospital Beebe Medical Center has changed its name to Beebe Healthcare, reflecting the expansive community health system that it has become. “Beebe has been more than a stand-alone, acute-care hospital for many years,” says Jeffrey M. Fried, FACHE, President and CEO of the now Beebe Healthcare. “For decades, Beebe has provided outpatient services in many locations, besides the hospital in Lewes. Beebe Home Health Agency has provided care to people throughout southern Delaware since 1985. And our network of physicians serves patients in multiple locations. “Today, we have seven convenient locations throughout Sussex County where people can receive outpatient healthcare services, including our newest location in Georgetown.” In focus groups that took place in 2012, participants made clear that the term “medical center” did not describe the scope of services and geographic locations that Beebe provides. To better communicate with consumers, the decision was made to update our name while remaining true to our heritage. “Changing our name is a major milestone in Beebe’s evolution,” says the Honorable William Swain Lee, Chairman of the Beebe Healthcare Board. “Beebe’s growth into a healthcare system has occurred for years as we’ve taken proactive steps to expand and serve the community. In 1916, Beebe was a two-room hospital. It became a medical center as it grew and offered more medical services. Today, the name Beebe Healthcare signifies a community health system that provides sophisticated medical care across many sites.” Specialized Care As the population in southern Delaware has grown, Beebe has expanded its services and the breadth of specialized care. A major addition to our continuum of care was openheart surgery and interventional cardiology, which began in 2007, and, more recently, we added electrophysiology to correct heart arrhythmias. Today, most heart disease conditions can be treated locally at Beebe. Our history of compassionate caring and advanced treatment for patients battling cancer at the Tunnell Cancer Center has earned respect and loyalty from our patients and their families. And the aging population has bene- 2008 2013 Radio-frequency Ablations Hudson Wing Distinguished Hospital The hospital’s Rollins Wing doubles the size of the Emergency Department from 18 to 36 beds, relocates and expands the Critical Care Unit (from 12 to 20 beds) above the Emergency Department, and adds a 42-bed Medical-Surgical Unit above the CCU. Heathgrades recognizes Beebe as a Distinguished Hospital, for the fourth year in a row. Firas El-Sabbagh, MD, performs Beebe’s first radiofrequency ablation to the heart to treat atrial fibrillation; Michael Ramjattansingh, MD, performs Beebe’s first radio-frequency ablation to treat liver cancer. 2012 Recognized Heart Attack Care American Heart Association recognizes Beebe Medical Center’s heart attack care. Partnership with Nanticoke Cancer Care Services Nanticoke Cancer Care Services in Seaford, and Beebe’s Tunnell Cancer Center, are affiliated, allowing Beebe’s medical and radiation oncology physicians to treat patients at Nanticoke and keeping cancer care in Sussex County. 2011 Stroke Center Beebe Medical Center is Certified as a Stroke Center by the Joint Commission. Tunnell Cancer Center Receives Continued Accreditation The Commission on Cancer (CoC) of the American College of Surgeons grants a ThreeYear Accreditation with Commendation to the Tunnell Cancer Center. This is the third time that Tunnell Cancer Center has gained the coveted Commendation designation as part of the Certificate of Accreditation, although Tunnell Cancer Center has consistently received accreditation from the Commission on Cancer. Excellence in Women’s Health fited from award-winning orthopaedic services, including total hip and knee replacements and minimally invasive spinal surgery. Partnering with the Community Beebe Healthcare remains an independent community health system with a vision of making Sussex County one of the healthiest counties in the nation. Beebe recognizes that it cannot achieve this goal on its own. Partnerships like the Healthier Sussex County initiative with Bayhealth and Nanticoke Health Services have been created to help coordinate health promotion and education. The new outpatient services offered in Millsboro are a collaboration with Mid-Atlantic Family Practice, offering a convenient site for people needing primary care, after hours walk-in care, lab, and imaging. “Physical access to care is an important first step that we have worked hard to achieve,” Mr. Fried says. “The next frontier in serving patients is true coordination with physicians and other providers working together to ensure the patient receives the right care in the right place at the right time. Beebe Healthcare and its staff of physicians are prepared to be that innovative leader.” Georgetown Services Carotid Artery Stenting New outpatient healthcare services open with Walk-in Care and Primary Care. Jonathan M. Kittredge, MD, and Joseph Haydu, DO, perform Beebe’s first carotid artery stenting procedure. Beebe Becomes Beebe Healthcare Millsboro Services Millsboro outpatient services expand to include Walk-in Care. Making Sussex County one of the Healthiest Counties in the Nation be confident with Beebe! American Institute of Minimally Invasive Surgery (AIMIS) names Beebe a Center of Excellence in Women’s Health Beebe healthcare / beebehealthcare.org 3 from Health Screenings to Housing Beebe Healthcare community outreach nurse Kathy Cooper, RN, performs a bone density screening on Josephine Pritchett during the health fair at the 7th Day Adventist Church in Millsboro. People Helping Our Community On a beautiful morning in August, Doris Hensler, RN, one of a dozen community outreach nurses with Beebe Healthcare’s Population Health Department, prepared tables at the Millsboro 7th Day Adventist Church for the health fair that was to start. She made sure that the health screening equipment was calibrated and ready to go. People who live near the little country church, surrounded by woods and farm fields, came to be screened for the early signs of heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis. Doris, flanked by nurses Kathy Cooper, RN, Michelle Farlow, RN, and Jerry McLamb, RN, warmly greeted people as they sat down to have their blood pressure taken, their fingers pricked, and the density of their heel bones measured. Reaching out to improve health in Sussex County Methodist Church in Georgetown, where Beebe nurses were joined by representatives of the Delaware Association of Hispanic Nurses, Delaware Hospice, Delaware Eye Institute, La Red, Beebe diabetic educators, and nurses from Beebe Healthcare’s Tunnell Cancer Center, who provide education and This scenario occurs year-round, again and again, throughout Sussex County. These local health fairs take place in churches, schools, parks, and community centers. Often, other organizations participate, joining the Beebe outreach team. Last December 1, for example, there was a health fair at Betel United Community outreach nurses Michelle Farlow, RN, Jerry McLamb, RN, and Kathy Cooper, RN, carry out free health screenings. 4 Beacon / november 2013 Pastor Rene Knight-Peguero and his wife Gilda Nieves-Knight have worked to help the Hispanic community in Sussex County since 1995. screening for specific cancers. All of the organizations collaborated to bring a broad range of services to the Georgetown community. “We want to find illnesses early in their course,” says Megan Williams, FNP, Director of Beebe Healthcare’s Population Health Department. “We know that diagnosing and treating a disease in its early stages leads to better outcomes and a higher quality of life.” These free screenings target heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and cancers of the breast and prostate, and sometimes the skin. They also include plenty of free educational materials. “We focus on these chronic health conditions because they are common and have the greatest impact on the quality of life for people in Sussex County,” Megan says, explaining that the outreach efforts are intended to assist people who are not getting the healthcare they may need, either because they are not insured or because they have limited access or information. pressure, one-third are obese, and 12 percent have diabetes. Cancer rates also are high. “So many factors impact our health, such as housing, transportation, education, and socioeconomic status,” Williams says. “Population Health is most effective when it is done in partnership with other community-based organizations.” In recent years, Beebe Healthcare has been able to provide the Hispanic community by collaborating with Pastor Rene KnightPeguero and his wife Gilda Nieves-Knight of the Betel United Methodist Church in Georgetown. This collaboration has led to providing free health screenings at health fairs, health information, and methods to access healthcare when needed. “Beebe helps us to provide the medical needs of our community,” says Gilda. “Many of the people do not have health insurance or access to a doctor.” Pastor Knight and Gilda came to Sussex County in 1995 as missionaries with the Dover District United Methodist Church to serve a growing Hispanic population in Sussex County. Since 1995, they have continued to serve this population through their affiliation with Betel. In another collaboration, Beebe Healthcare, under the auspices of the Healthier Sussex County initiative, has been working with Habitat for Humanity to help people own their own homes. This year Beebe has been involved with the construction of two homes. “Within the auspices of Healthier Sussex County, we are working to keep people in Sussex County healthier through addressing disparities in healthcare and education, and working with our community members to help engage them in making healthier lifestyle choices,” says Jeffrey M. Fried, President and CEO of Beebe Healthcare. “Certainly, a healthy environment in which to live is critical to maintaining good health. Helping Habitat for Humanity to build homes for Sussex County residents also provides an opportunity for the staff of the three hospitals to work together in a project that supports the Healthier Sussex County initiative.” For more information visit our website at healthiersussexcounty.com. Improving Access to Care Beebe Healthcare, in a collaborative effort with other healthcare systems in Sussex County, has recently completed a Community Health Needs Assessment to use as a basis to develop strategies to improve the health of the southern Delaware population. It won’t be an easy task. In Sussex County, more than one-third of the population have high blood Jeffrey M. Fried, President and CEO of Beebe Healthcare, and Steven Rose, RN, MN, CEO and President of Nanticoke Health Services, volunteered together at a Habitat for Humanity build in Georgetown as part of their participation in the Healthier Sussex County initiative.

B eebe Healthcare is proud to announce that it is expanding into Georgetown in October 2013 to provide much-needed healthcare services to the people living and working in the surrounding area. Beebe Healthcare will be the anchor tenant in the nearly completed 47,000-squarefoot, two-story College Park Medical Pavilion, located in College Park, a new and expansive mixed-use development at the intersection of Route 404 and Route 113 and across the street from Delaware Technical Community College. The development, which already houses La Red’s new and expanded medical facility, also will house retail and commercial establishments. Other existing businesses in the adjacent area include Walmart and Hardee’s restaurant. “We are proud and excited to be a part of this development in Georgetown,” says Jeffrey M. Fried, President and CEO of Beebe Healthcare. “It is a well-planned development that is conveniently located for the people who live in Georgetown, and for those who live in the rural surrounding areas. Locating at this busy crossroads allows Beebe to provide important healthcare services so that people can access them without having to travel too far from home. It also will allow Beebe to provide healthcare education, outreach, and disease and illness prevention screenings so that we can partner with others to improve the health of everyone living in Sussex County.” Beebe Healthcare is leasing the groundfloor space of the Medical Pavilion and will offer the following services: • Beebe Lab Express, to include blood specimen collection and EKG (no appointments necessary) • Beebe Imaging, to include radiology, CT, MRI, ultrasound, bone density, and mammography • Beebe Rehab Services, to include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech/ language pathology • Beebe primary care physicians’ offices • A Beebe Walk-in Care center The College Park Medical Pavilion, owned and developed by Onix Group of Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, will provide office space on the second floor for private physician specialists. Beebe Healthcare is a not-for-profit community healthcare system with a charitable mission to encourage healthy living, prevent illness, and restore optimal health for the people residing, working, or visiting in the communities we serve. We offer multiple services throughout southern Delaware, including a 210-licensed-bed hospital, a cancer center, a free-standing surgery center, and outpatient facilities at multiple sites providing lab, imaging, physical rehab services, and walk-in care.

Beebe healthcare / beebehealthcare.org 7 Managing illnesses from home Beebe Home Health Agency nurse Miriam Kaiser, RN, BSN, CDE, shows Carlton Savage of Lewes how to check his vital signs and transmit them to the Agency’s office in Georgetown, where they are monitored daily. Carlton’s wife Cathy Savage, standing, is an active participant in Carlton’s home care. 8 Beacon / november 2013 Technology Lends a Hand Patients Learn how to Manage their own Illnesses at home with Telehealth C arlton Savage feels much better these days, though he misses pizza and fried chicken. Their high content of fat and salt can aggravate his heart disease and send him back to the hospital. “I didn’t know they were so bad for me,” says the Sussex County native and Lewes resident. “But I feel so much better without them.” Today, Carlton, 57, and his wife Cathy are learning how to manage his diabetes and chronic heart failure with the help of a nurse from Beebe Home Health Agency and its innovative Philips Telehealth monitoring system. Carlton weighs himself each morning at home. He uses a small pulse oximeter to check how much oxygen is in his blood and another device to measure his blood pressure and heart rate. He then uses the Philips Telehealth monitoring system to transmit the information via telephone to Beebe Home Health Agency. The Home Health team of nurses monitors these vital signs and will contact Carlton’s physician immediately if it appears his health is worsening or if changes need to be made to his disease management regimen. The Agency also sends weekly updates to the physician. “The machine catches you cheating, too,” Carlton says. “If I have a pretzel or ice cream before I go to bed, it shows up on the machine the next morning.” He adds with a smile, “I can’t eat anything that tastes good.” heart surgery,” says Dana Warrington, RN, the Nurse Manager. “Patients are referred into the program by either the hospital or a physician. It is not for everyone.” Carlton was referred to the program after suffering out-of-control diabetes and serious heart failure that damaged his kidneys. He was taken to the Medical Center in Lewes, where he stayed for 15 days before he was well enough to be discharged. “I was so sick,” he recalls. “There were days I wasn’t with it at all.” Dana explains that the Telehealth technology is a teaching tool that helps patients learn how to recognize the warning signs of a worsening chronic illness, so that eventually the patient can do it without the technology. “It helps the patient manage his or her own illness and to know when it is important to contact the doctor.” preventing medical emergencies Miriam Kaiser, RN, BSN, CDE, a Beebe Home Health nurse and certified diabetic educator, visits the Savages regularly. She has taught them how to use the Telehealth monitoring system, as well as how to manage heart failure and diabetes. Part of her education plan includes teaching the relationship between food and health, and how eating too much sugar, fat, and salt can adversely affect diabetes and heart failure. “Miriam has taught me how to read labels when I go to the supermarket,” Cathy says. “It’s like going back to school.” Miriam also taught the Savages how to regularly check Carlton’s blood glucose levels to control his diabetes, which is a risk factor for heart disease. “I would not feel as good today if it were not for that machine and for Miriam,” says Carlton. Cathy agrees. “Miriam has taught us so much. She is like a security blanket.” Studies have shown that Telehealth assists patients with chronic illnesses to successfully transition from the hospital experience to living at home and managing their own illnesses. For example, a Tufts–New England Medical Study has shown a 72 percent reduction in patients with heart failure being readmitted into the hospital when they have used Telehealth as part of their disease management program. Beebe Home Health Agency has about 20 patients at any one time on the Telehealth system, which is free to the patient. The Agency serves patients throughout southern Delaware, and it has received the highest patient satisfaction scores in Delaware, according to the U.S. Government rating system. Recognizing the warning signs Beebe Home Health has incorporated Telehealth as a tool into the nurse-driven program to help patients stay in their homes as they learn how to manage their own illnesses. “We use it for patients who have COPD, pneumonia, unstable blood pressure, or who have had a heart attack or who have had Dana Warrington, RN, is the Nurse Manager of Beebe Home Health Agency. She oversees the team of healthcare professionals who help patients remain at home while they manage their illnesses. Beebe healthcare / beebehealthcare.org 9 Exceptional Care for the Most Severe Form of Heart Attack Beebe Healthcare, earlier this year, received the American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline® Silver Quality Achievement Award for implementing an exceptional standard of care for heart attack patients. The recognition refers specifically to the ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), the most severe form of a heart attack. In this medical emergency, a blood clot completely blocks an artery to the heart. It is critical to immediately restore blood flow by opening the blocked vessel or by giving clotbusting medication, to prevent death, according to the AHA. “We are proud and honored to receive this recognition,” says Lynn Amey, RN, Executive Director of Cardiac and Vascular Services at Beebe Healthcare. “This award acknowledges the high standard of care that our heart patients receive. It also recognizes the commitment of not only the interventional cardiac care team, but also those in the Emergency Department and the Sussex County Emergency Medical Services team who often are the first people to give patient care in the event of a heart attack.” Beebe Healthcare, which implemented its Interventional Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery program in 2007, has worked tirelessly to make sure that patients suffering heart attacks receive the highest standards of care. For the best patient outcomes, national standards require that the blood clot is removed and the blood flow is restored to the heart within 90 minutes of the patient’s arrival at the hospital. Whether 10 Beacon / november 2013 Most heart problems can be treated at Beebe. Here, a patient’s cardiac arteries are examined during a cardiac catheterization prior to placing a stent. day or night, weekday or weekend, Beebe Healthcare has been well within that standard for several years. This success reflects the multidisciplinary approach that includes representatives of Cardiac Services, the Emergency Department, and the Sussex County EMS working closely together. “The team follows national protocols of quality and safety,” says Ehtasham Qureshi, MD, Director of Interventional Cardiology and one of three Beebe Healthcare interventional cardiologists. “We strive for 100 percent compliance with all guidelines.” To qualify for the award, Beebe Healthcare also had to adhere to additional best practice patient care guidelines for more than a year. Those guidelines include the use of aggressive risk-reduction therapies such as cholesterollowering drugs, aspirin, Angiotensinconverting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, and beta-blockers. “Our Cardiac Surgery program is essential to our ability to provide this care to our patients,” Dr. Qureshi adds. In recent months, the Beebe Healthcare team treated more than 50 patients suffering from a STEMI heart attack. Last year, more than 1,300 heart patients received diagnostic catheterizations. Of those, nearly 400 had stent procedures to open blocked cardiac arteries and about 130 patients needed open-heart surgery. Cardiac Surgery at Beebe Healthcare The most common Open-Heart surgeries performed at Beebe: • Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting • Aortic Valve Replacement • Mitral Valve Repair and Replacement • Tricuspid Valve Repair • Aortic Aneurysm Repair • Aortic Dissection Repair • Pericardial Window for Pericardial Effusion • Pulmonary Vein Isolation for Atrial Fibrillation • Catheter-based Treatment of the Great Vessels • Open Surgery of the Great Vessels always dial 911 for lifethreatening emergencies. Expanded Ear, Nose, and Throat Services Beebe Healthcare has expanded its ear, nose, and throat specialty services with the arrival of Board Certified otolaryngologist Justin Lee Elder, DO, who joined the Beebe Healthcare Medical Staff this year. The two Justin Lee Elder, DO other otolaryngologists on the Beebe Healthcare Medical Staff are Nicholas Berg, MD, with offices in Milford, and Paul Howard, MD, with offices in Lewes. Dr. Elder’s office suite is in the Medical Arts Building at Beebe Healthcare–Rehoboth Beach, which he is sharing with dermatologist Daniel Cuozzo, DO. Dr. Elder brings expertise not only in diagnosing and treating diseases and disorders of the ear, nose, and throat, but also in facial plastic surgery. Getting Back to the Life You Love O ver the past several years, Beebe surgeons and administrators have committed to a philosophy of instituting minimally invasive surgical techniques when medically appropriate to offer the most advanced care for the surgical patient. These techniques can produce less pain, less bleeding, and a faster return for the patient to his or her daily life. The cost savings—to patients and employers—has helped us to make responsible economic decisions in a time of cost-benefit importance. Pictured here is a recent laparoscopic hysterectomy that was performed in an operating room at the Medical Center in Lewes with the use of our new image-guided “I especially am looking forward to working with Dr. Cuozzo, who performs Mohs surgery,” Dr. Elder says. “I am especially interested in reconstructive surgery.” Mohs is a specialized surgical technique used for skin cancer. The focus of the procedure is to remove the cancer while protecting healthy tissue. Following the Mohs procedure, Dr. Elder will close the defect on the same day. The combination of Mohs and facial plastic surgery in one combined office allows for the management of routine and complex skin cancer of the face that is convenient for patients. Besides a subspecialty in facial plastic surgery, Dr. Elder also performs endoscopic sinus surgery, an image-guided surgery to treat such disorders as nasal polyps, septal deviations, and chronic sinus problems. Image guidance (intraoperative navigation) allows CT scans to be used as a “road map” during surgery to increase patient safety. This is provided by the use of the newly acquired Medtronic Fusion System. Dr. Elder also performs in-office minimally invasive procedures such as balloon sinuplasty. As with other minimally invasive surgical procedures, patients recuperate faster to return to their normal lives. Dr. Elder earned his Doctor of Osteopathy from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. He completed an internship and residency in Otolaryngology/Facial Plastic Surgery at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, New Jersey. He is a member of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery; the American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery; the American Osteopathic Colleges of Ophthalmology & Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery; and the American Osteopathic Association. Dr. Elder, a member of the Beebe Physician Network, can be reached at (302) 645-4801. technology that uses fiber-optic and highdefinition cameras and equipment to assure quality outcomes. Performing this procedure are gynecologic surgeons Vincent B. Killeen, MD, and Steven D. Berlin, MD; gynecologic resource nurse Christine Eikenberry, RN; circulating nurse Dawnyel Furlung, RN; scrub nurse Maureen Grindle, RN; and nurse anesthetist Cheryl Cowan, RN. Casey Savage, a medical student at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, observed. What is an Otolaryngologist? An otolaryngologist diagnoses and treats diseases and disorders of the ear, nose, and throat; hence, the more common name of “ear, nose, and throat physician.” This physician also treats disorders and diseases related to the head and neck, such as those affecting the mouth, throat, and sinuses. Otolaryngologists often have subspecialties that can include facial plastic and reconstructive surgery.

This event has raised more than $1.78 million over the last 24 years. Proceeds from the 24th Annual Art Auction will be designated to the expansion of healthcare services into more areas of Sussex County to better serve our neighbors in Millsboro, Georgetown, Milton, and Bethany Beach. This summer, Beebe opened a facility in Millsboro on Route 113 in partnership with Mid-Atlantic Family Practice. New or expanded services include laboratory, diagnostic imaging, and walk-in care. By expanding care in western Sussex County, Beebe can make outstanding healthcare more accessible to those who live in and visit our communities.

Over the last 25 years, the Ball has raised more than $1.8 million. Net proceeds from the 2012 event totaled more than $104,000 to add electrophysiology services to the Cardiac program at Beebe Healthcare.

During their final months, both women were surrounded by families that loved and cared for them and a circle of friends that generously gave their time and support. It is most important that people going through these trying times receive all the physical and spiritual support available. The goal of the Jean & Joan Cancer Fund is to assist the Tunnell Cancer Center in providing care and comfort for patients.
