This certification recognizes a commitment to high-quality care. Cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation programs help individuals recover faster from heart attacks and COPD, among other issues, and live healthier. Both programs include exercise, education, counseling and support for patients and their families. Congratulations!

We are closely following the Medicaid policy changes and impact to Delaware. Just this week, at our annual healthcare forum, which had record-high attendance, Medicaid was a hot topic. It's something that will impact physicians, long-term care, home care, public health, the disability community and more. From the hospital perspective, more burdensome policies will mean less people covered by Medicaid and with less people covered by Medicaid, more will become uninsured.

Uninsured individuals are less likely to seek primary care and preventative care, leading to worsening health conditions, and more people coming to the emergency room for all their health conditions. The beauty about Delaware is that we can work together to address these major issues - we look forward to collaborating with the state, policy leaders, and advocates on solutions that will make the First State First in Health.
