Great to be at the Spotlight Delaware Health Care Summit! Today’s panelists have provided a deep dive on the many challenges facing medicine, from recruiting and retaining the health workforce to increasing access to specialty care in areas where there are gaps.

We’re proud that our members have been leading the way on solutions to attract professionals to stay and practice in our state, increase access in shortage areas, and provide innovative speciality hubs for care and research.

We look forward to working with policymakers and partners on efforts that strengthen care for patients and support the healthcare workforce.

Speaking of partners, it’s always good to see our fellow First State Health Leaders Alliance members. We’ll keep working together to remove siloes and improve health outcomes!

April is Workplace Violence Prevention Month. Healthcare workers are five times more likely to experience workplace violence than workers overall. This not only harms our workers and leads to trauma, but also disrupts patient care.

We’re glad that Rep. Mara Gorman is sponsoring House Bill 322, which seeks to ensure the safety of all who walk into a healthcare facility. Workplace violence is an urgent and pressing concern that significantly impacts the physical and emotional well-being of healthcare professionals. Thank you Ryan Clarke from Bayhealth for your continued advocacy. Let’s stand up for our healthcare workers, together!

There's a lot happening in the health policy world, and we're glad to be connected with our congressional delegation. To advance healthcare, strong collaboration is essential.

Following the American Hospital Association annual membership meeting, we had great conversations with U.S. Senator Chris C***s, U.S. Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester and Congresswoman Sarah McBride and are thankful for their leadership. Hospitals and health systems are on the frontlines of policy changes, innovation, and high-quality patient care. We appreciate the opportunity to share insights from Delaware and how we are working together to make the First State first in health! Thank you to members ChristianaCare, Nemours and Saint Francis Hospital for joining us.

We must break down barriers to make the First State first in health. Black Maternal Health Week shines a light on disparities in maternal health outcomes and issues a call to action to do more and better for Black moms and babies. Hospitals play a vital role in ensuring equitable access to care for all Delawareans. We believe every person should be able to obtain the healthcare they need without bias or discrimination, and with equal access to the health resources and information that will enable all to achieve their best possible health. That often means working beyond hospital walls to address the factors that shape a community’s health. We are thankful for the many community partners like the Delaware Healthy Mother and Infant Consortium and countless legislators, who join us in advancing health equity, strong communities, and better health outcomes.

Delaware Healthcare Association President & CEO Brian Frazee shared the following statement regarding ChristianaCare President and CEO Dr. Janice Nevin's retirement announcement:

A respected changemaker and transformational leader, Dr. Janice Nevin has unequivocally shaped healthcare in the First State. Her longstanding career spans the healthcare continuum from treating patients as a family medicine doctor and teaching the next generation of physicians to leading the largest health workforce as ChristianaCare’s first female CEO. Throughout her tenure at ChristianaCare, Dr. Nevin has remained a steady advocate for value-based, data-driven approaches that center on high-quality care, meeting people where they are and supporting them through any challenge, including an unprecedented pandemic.

On behalf of the Delaware Healthcare Association team and our members, we are so thankful for Dr. Nevin’s service to the state and the association. As DHA Board Chair, Dr. Nevin has led with vision and purpose, helping the association navigate complex challenges with an eye toward collaborative solutions. We applaud her next chapter and look forward to working with Jenn Schwartz as ChristianaCare’s incoming CEO later this year.
