Serving practices across the Wilmington medical community
Downtown Wilmington Medical Corridor — centered on ChristianaCare's Wilmington Hospital at 501 W. 14th Street, anchoring acute care, rehabilitation, and outpatient services in the urban core · Rockland Road / Concord Pike Healthcare Corridor (Wilmington's north side and Brandywine Hundred) — home to Nemours Children's Hospital Delaware, Widener University Delaware Law School, and numerous specialist group practices · Kirkwood Highway Health Zone (southwest Wilmington into Prices Corner) — site of the Wilmington VA Medical Center, Saint Francis Hospital, and a concentration of primary care and ancillary-service practices serving south and west Wilmington neighborhoods
Major Wilmington hospitals & health systems
Wilmington is anchored by Downtown Wilmington Medical Corridor — centered on ChristianaCare's Wilmington Hospital at 501 W. 14th Street, anchoring acute care, rehabilitation, and outpatient services in the urban core, home to institutions such as ChristianaCare Wilmington Hospital, ChristianaCare Christiana Hospital, Nemours Children's Hospital, Delaware. Independent Wilmington practices work alongside these systems and compete for the same patients, so accurate out-of-network (oon) billing and clean claims are how a smaller Wilmington practice protects its revenue.
