** About Us **
Nanticoke Memorial Hospital was originally incorporated in 1945 by a group of citizens concerned by the lack of health care facilities in western Sussex County, Delaware. Over the years, involved citizens and a progressive administrative team have continued to direct the course of Nanticoke Memorial Hospital and its affiliates, organized under the corporate title of Nanticoke Health Services. What started as a 32-bed hospital in 1952 has grown to include extended care, business services, outpatient services, medical centers across Sussex County Delaware and a host of preventive medicine and health education programs. Each part of Nanticoke Health Services works together to focus on fulfilling our mission statement: "We exist to positively impact our communities' quality of life through improved health status."
Today, patients and businesses are continually seeking superior health care at an affordable price. Nanticoke Health Services stands committed to providing that type of care. As a member of the Maryland Quality Improvement Project which compares the quality of care among 900 hospitals across the United States, Nanticoke Health Services consistently receives high ratings. At the same time, feedback from our patients overwhelmingly compliments us on the care and friendliness of our staff in all of our entities including Nanticoke Memorial Hospital, LifeCare at Lofland Park and Nanticoke Medical Centers. Our dedication to serving our patients is evidenced through our well-planned coordinated system of care.
Our organization is able to treat you and your family across the complete spectrum of your needs. Our growth is evidenced not only through the continued addition of medical programs, but also through successful physician recruitment - 40 physicians in the last 15 years. As our communities' healthcare needs change, Nanticoke Health Services will continue to change. Recognized nationally for our accomplishments by organizations such as the American Hospital Association and The Center for Case Management, our staff welcomes the opportunity to meet your healthcare needs. We invite you to visit our facilities to find out more about the services we provide.
