Lewes, Del.-based Beebe Healthcare received a record-setting $10 million donation from the Rollins family's Ma-Ran Foundation to support a $180 million facility expansion.
The $10 million will help fund construction of a four-story patient wing and pavilion that will expand capacity for the medical complex. The new expansion would add private rooms, establish a women and children's department and provide additional space for medical and surgical cases.
The pavilion will be named the Margaret H. Rollins Pavilion after the donation.
"Our expansion plans will not only transform the way we deliver care but will also make medical services so much more accessible in our community. We thank the Rollins family for this incredibly generous gift," Jeffery M. Fried, Beebe Healthcare's president and CEO, said.
