Our mission as an organization is to serve our neighbors as expert, caring partners in their health. We do this by creating innovative, effective, affordable systems of care that our neighbors value. This is our promise to you. We call it The ChristianaCare Way.
ChristianaCare has the most advanced health care technology available to help meet your needs. But more important than the technology is our commitment to partner with you to meet your individual needs. We want to care for you and help you live the healthy life you want to live.

Nationally recognized for clinical excellence in the treatment and prevention of disease, our not-for-profit hospital is dedicated to providing superior, personalized, quality health care to our neighbors, families and friends.
