Two of Delmarva’s Most Respected Health Systems Form HealthPartners Delmarva

Two of the leading and most comprehensive healthcare systems on the Delmarva Peninsula today announced that they have joined together to form an interstate partnership to improve the overall healthcare experience for all Delmarva residents.

Bayhealth of Dover, Delaware, with hospitals in Dover and Milford, and Peninsula Regional Health System of Salisbury, Maryland, which operates Peninsula Regional Medical Center (PRMC), have formed HealthPartners Delmarva. The collaboration allows each hospital to share the best practices of both organizations, but is not a financial purchase of one health system by the other. The partnership is focused on collaborating to improve patient care and access and is not a consolidation of workforces.

HealthPartners Delmarva was developed and approved by the Boards of each health system to better implement the healthcare Triple Aim of improving the experience for the patient, improving the health of our communities and creating a way for people to obtain those services in the most affordable setting.

Sounds like a monopoly in progress , and a little BS.

PRMC has been trying to "partner" with other hospitals forever. There isnt a sandbox big enough for those egos. What happened to the Nanticoke Memorial partnership? Why haven't Crisfield hospital or AGH joined the PRMC fold? Dorchester General joined Easton hospital -- both now part of Univ of MD. Is this a last ditch effort to maintain independence when the writing is on the wall?

PRMC should partner with someone that knows how to retain employees. Their poor Cath Lab is sinking fast!!!
