The administration, faculty, residents and employees of Bayhealth welcome you and hope that your learning experience here will be a good one.
Bayhealth Medical Center formed in January 1997 when Kent General Hospital, founded in 1929, and Milford Memorial Hospital, founded in 1938, merged to create a not-for-profit health care system dedicated to providing high-quality care to the community. Also comprised of St. Jones Center for Behavioral Health, Middletown Medical Center and many satellite facilities, Bayhealth is Delaware’s second-largest health care system with 2,500 employees and more than 350 physicians. Bayhealth offers a full range of services including open-heart surgery, women’s services, maternal-child health, neonatal intensive care unity, behavioral health, emergency medicine, cancer centers, and rehabilitation.
The Office of Medical Education is located in the Clinical
Integration Office on the third floor of the main building.
