ChristianaCare has announced a joint venture with Cardiovascular Physicians of Delaware and US Health Partners to establish a new $9.3 million, 9,000-square-foot cardiovascular surgery center in Stanton, Delaware. The facility, set to open in late 2027, will exclusively focus on outpatient heart and vascular procedures, helping to address the growing demand for these services in the region.
