History

The hospital's history dates to 1888, when Delaware Hospital was first opened in Wilmington. [7] It was expanded throughout the subsequent decades. In 1965, it merged with Memorial Hospital and Wilmington General Hospital to form Wilmington Medical Center, with each of the three facilities being known as a "division", thus Delaware Hospital became known as the Delaware Division of the Wilmington Medical Center. Later it was decided to close the other two hospitals and replace them with a new one, Christiana Hospital. In 1985, the Delaware Division was renamed Wilmington Hospital. Also in 1985, the current day Christiana Hospital at its current location opened. [7]

In October 2006, the Christiana Hospital trauma center was one of the receiving hospitals' for victims of the West Nickel Mines School shooting in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, treating one of the pediatric victims from the shooting. [8] [9]

In 2015 an expansion was announced designed specifically for women and children. [10] In 2017 the hospital began a large 400,000 square foot expansion, adding a new women and children's wing to the hospital. [11] By 2018, the steel framing work for the hospital finished. [12]

In 2018, the hospital opened Delaware's first epilepsy monitoring unit, where doctors attempt to induce a seizure to make a proper diagnosis. [13]

In June 2020 Christiana Hospital completed the $260 million, Center for Women's & Children's Health tower. [14] [15] The new addition includes a new all-private neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), new labor suites and new postpartum rooms, and a family garden. [16] [17] Additionally, the new building hosts two Ronald McDonald family rooms for use by parents of children in the NICU. [18] [19]

In late 2020, President-elect Joe Biden received his first dose of the Pfizer–BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine at the Christiana Hospital. [20] [21] He later returned for his second dose at the hospital in early 2021. [22] [23]

[26] [27] In 2020 the hospital was also named as an "A" hospital by the Leapfrog Group. [28]
