Delaware may be the second smallest state in the nation, but it offers big opportunities in its health care industry, both inside the state and for those who commute to work for health care providers in other nearby states, such as Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland. Delaware’s population of just less than 900,000 will need to have highly-qualified health care staff on hand at its hospitals, clinics, doctor’s offices and other health care facilities to provide leadership and services. The biggest health care employers in Delaware include the Christiana Care Health System (a recognized Magnet hospital for its quality nursing care and one of the largest health care providers in the Mid-Atlantic), Bayhealth Medical Center, The Alfred I. DuPont Hospital for Children and Beebe Medical Center.
