“This is a close-knit community and while Beebe itself is small, big things happen here. We are making innovative decisions and looking toward the future constantly. And, I stay here because of this community and because of the pride I have in caring for my patients in this community” expressed the doctor.
Beebe Women’s Healthcare Bayside offers routine physical care and diseases of the reproductive system of women, including laparoscopic and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. Beebe Healthcare is proud to be the first hospital in Delaware and on the Delmarva Peninsula – and one of only 15 in the United States – to be named a Center of Excellence in Women’s Health by the American Institute of Minimally Invasive Surgery (AIMIS).
