Help with Revisions

Hi all, my name is Margo and I am here on behalf of my employer, ChristianaCare. This page has been marked as having multiple issues, and I am excited to help fix those by assisting with editing. Due to my conflict of interest, I will not be making any edits myself, and instead will provide suggested revisions and drafts to improve the quality of this page. To start small, I would like to request that the name of the organization be fixed. ChristianaCare is currently spelled incorrectly (with a space between Christiana and Care). Andrew nyr (talk · contribs) and Dough4872 (talk · contribs), I noticed that you have made edits on this page recently - would you still be interested in working on this article? If you are, I would really appreciate your help with this edit. Thank you all and please let me know any feedback or ways I can help! --Margo at ChristianaCare (talk) 13:31, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Margo at ChristianaCare, I would love to help you work on the page and I will start with the name change. I always appreciate the integrity of announcing conflict of interest so I will gladly work with you to make good neutral changes to the page. Andrew nyr (talk, contribs) 00:04, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I have created a draft of the locations section which attempts to bring some parts up-to-date (as needed) and fix inaccuracies. I have also added the addition of ChristianaCare's Union hospital which is present in the opening bio, but does not have any description in the locations section. Andrew nyr (talk · contribs), if you are still interested, I would appreciate your help with this update. I have tried to highlight where my recommended changes are for clarity. I welcome any feedback about how to make this a useful and clarifying update or concerns about writing/content and I am happy to make revisions accordingly and help out where I am able! Thank very much you for your help.

Jmertel23 (talk · contribs), I noticed your involvement with Wiki Project Hospitals and interest in cleaning up American hospital pages. Would you be interested in helping to update hospital information on this page as we attempt to clean up out-of-date information, provide secondary source references, and generally make this page more useful to Wikipedia users? Thank you for your consideration! Margo at ChristianaCare (talk) 14:37, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi Andrew nyr (talk · contribs), would you have any interest in revisiting this effort to update the information about the ChristianaCare health system? Margo at ChristianaCare (talk) 19:14, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Margo at ChristianaCare, Sorry for the late reply, I have been really busy lately but would really like to look into this again. I will take a look at your draft and start to see if I can make some changes.

Again, sorry for the late reply.

Christiana Hospital

Aerial view of the Christiana Hospital campus in Newark

Christiana Hospital in Newark, Delaware, is Delaware's only adult Level I trauma center. It was built in 1985 and houses 907 licensed beds and includes 22 hospital-based operating rooms and 10 outpatient operating rooms. It is home to Delaware's only Level 3 neonatal intensive care unit and the state's largest maternity center, where more than 7,100 newborns are delivered each year. The Christiana Hospital campus is also home to the Center for Heart & Vascular Health and the Helen F. Graham Cancer Center. In 2018, the hospital opened Delaware's first epilepsy monitoring unit, where doctors attempt to induce a seizure to make a proper diagnosis.

Notable surgeons include Dr. Velma Scantlebury-White, the United States first African American woman to become a transplant surgeon.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, in mid-December 2020, Delaware resident president-elect Joe Biden received his first dose of the Pfizer–BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine at Christiana Hospital on live TV and returned in mid-January 2021 for his second shot.

Wilmington Hospital

Wilmington Hospital, located in Wilmington, Delaware, houses 321 licensed beds and is home to ChristianaCare's Center for Rehabilitation and Center for Advanced Joint Replacement. Its campus is also home to the Roxana Cannon Arsht Surgicenter, Wilmington Hospital Health Center, an HIV program and the First State School, a private/public partnership that provides in-school education for children with serious illnesses that would otherwise render them homebound. Since 2019, Wilmington Hospital houses the Center for Hope and Healing which strives to provide care for individuals struggling with mental illness, medical conditions, and social health issues. In February 2021, the Delaware Health Resources Board cleared the Delaware Neurosurgical Group PA and ChristianaCare’s joint spinal surgery center, named Center for Spine Surgery LLC. This center, located at Roxana Cannon Arsht Surgicenter on the Wilmington Hospital campus, will contain 6 operating rooms, 6 overnight rooms, a post-surgical recovery space and 23-hour stay capacity for spine surgical patients. The projected opening date is January 2022.

Middletown Free-standing Emergency Department

ChristianaCare Emergency Department — Middletown, DE

The Middletown Free-standing Emergency Department located in Middletown, Delaware offers 24-hour emergency care with 18 treatment rooms. It opened in April 2013 at a cost of $34 million. In 2019, after rigorous review to ensure compliance, the emergency department earned Advanced Disease-Specific Care Certification as an Acute Stroke Ready Hospital from The Joint Commission.

Union Hospital

In 2020, ChristianaCare officially acquired Union Hospital of Elkton, Maryland along with its parent health system, Affinity Health Alliance, and its subsidiaries. This acquisition is the first hospital ChristianaCare owns outside the state of Delaware. The hospital, known as ChristianaCare, Union Hospital, adds 72 beds, six operating rooms and 375 physicians to the ChristianaCare health system. It will provide care in various specialties such as oncology, gastroenterology and audiology, in addition to its imaging and laboratories technology.

WikiProject Hospitals Proposal

Hello! As stated in other sections on this talk page, my name is Margo and I am here on behalf of my employer, ChristianaCare. Because it has been marked with multiple issues, we are trying to improve the usefulness and quality of this page by increasing information, finding reliable sources, and making edits to benefit readers. Due to my conflict of interest, I want to create transparency in any requests and follow the Wikipedia policy for improving this page. I am trying to reach out to experienced editors who know how to properly clean up and improve pages related to hospital systems. I believe that this page would fall under the scope of WikiProjects Hospitals and could really benefit from its attention. G. Moore (talk · contribs), a member of this project would you be interested in helping add the project template to this page and/or make edits that can improve quality? I thank you for your time and would really appreciate any help you are willing to give towards this effort! Margo at ChristianaCare (talk) 15:38, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Changed the template from Medical to WikiProject Hospitals. -- Talk to G Moore 13:31, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

Thank you, G. Moore (talk · contribs)! -- Margo at ChristianaCare (talk) 19:30, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello and thank you again, G. Moore, for your previous help and contributions to this page! Would you have any interest in making updates from the draft above? Particularly, to the flagged content in the Wilmington Hospital section. I understand your breadth of interests on Wikipedia and respect your time, so I thank you for any energy at all that you spend on this project. Thank you, Margo at ChristianaCare (talk) 17:11, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

@Margo at ChristianaCare:I did some updates. If you have sourcing for when the hospitals first opened or where constructed and images where missing, please add this information to the Infoboxes. This date should be the date the hospital first opened in this name, not necessarily when ChristCare started its ownership. Infoboxes are not needed for hospitals that have there own separate articles. -- Talk to G Moore 21:19, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

@G. Moore - Thank you so much for making these updates! I will gather the information and images necessary to help refine the infoboxes. Thank you again! -- Margo at ChristianaCare (talk) 14:13, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

Per your request, I have added in the date that Union hospital opened, which is December 1, 1908, to the infobox. I am still gathering the other requested material. Thank you again for your help! - Margo at ChristianaCare (talk) 18:17, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Flagged Content - Wilmington Hospital

RevelationDirect (talk · contribs), I saw that you are a participant of WikiProject Delaware with an interest in improving information about Wilmington. This page about ChristianaCare (based in Wilmington) needs attention. In particular, the information about Wilmington Hospital is extremely out of date and has been flagged by other editors. I have drafted some updates to reflect current information about the hospital (these updates are listed above in the "Help with Revisions" section and highlighted in yellow). Would you be interested in making these edits? Thank you for your time and consideration! -- Margo at ChristianaCare (talk) 22:45, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
