SPECIALTY SURGICAL HOSPITAL - REHOBOTH HEALTH CAMPUS
Bringing Advanced Surgical Technology to Our Community
For more than a century, Beebe has been singularly focused on the health and well-being of our community, and we are proud to deliver on this commitment once again with the opening of our Specialty Surgical Hospital on our Abessinio Health Campus this May. This new and state-of-the-art hospital is purpose-built to deliver the best short-stay surgical care and patient experience available in Sussex County.
The facility features four operating rooms, 18 bays for pre- and post-operative care, and 24 private, short-stay inpatient rooms. It also houses imaging, laboratory, and pharmacy services, as well as a new location for our Rehoboth Walk-In Care Center.

Beebe Healthcare held a groundbreaking ceremony at the future home of its Specialty Surgical Hospital at the Rehoboth Health Campus on Wednesday, May 15. The $124 million, four-story, state-of-the-art surgery center will allow patients with scheduled surgeries to not compete for services with more acutely sick patients and emergency patients of a general acute-care hospital.
It will be the home for the Center for Robotic Surgery, and future home of the Women’s Health Labor & Delivery floor, where expectant families can continue to deliver babies in a family-centered, dedicated environment. It is expected to open in 2022.
