		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Cecil County’s community hospital, the more than century-old Union Hospital in Elkton, is merging with ChristianaCare in Delaware, bringing the struggling local hospital into the fold of the nationally recognized teaching hospital and trauma center that dominates health care in the First State. While many questions remain about the practicalities of the merger, the fact that the local hospital will survive is a welcome outcome that had been in some doubt for several years. Union will lose its independence and much of its identity in the agreement, which was announced Thursday (1/2/2020) after officially taking effect on January 1. The 72-bed local hospital will be officially known as ChristianaCare-Union Hospital and its Elkton real estate, which includes medical office space, will be dubbed “ChristianaCare-Cecil County.” Union, and its parent organization Affinity Health Alliance, now joins the Delaware institution which operates its main hospital in Newark, DE, Wilmington Hospital in that city, and the ChristianaCare emergency hospital in Middletown, DE. The Middletown operation, opened in 2013 with a $34 million, 36,500 square foot emergency medical services facility, is utilized by many southern Cecil County residents. Christiana officials said in a written statement that the process of fully integrating the [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The renowned Christiana Care Health System’s hospital and trauma center in Delaware recently opened a satellite “Emergency Department” in Middletown that provides a new source of medical services to southern Cecil County, Maryland residents—but local ambulance transport in emergencies is still a while away. The new $34 million, 36,500 square foot emergency medical services facility, located near the intersection of Brick Mill Road and Route 299 (adjacent to the Giant Food shopping center on the outskirts of town near Route 1) opened a few weeks ago in what hospital officials described as a low-key, “soft” opening on April 16. But the facility is already exceeding estimates of patient demand for services and is expected to move from “walk-in” patients only to ambulance-transported patients in the next few months. The hospital also has a helipad for helicopter transport of critically ill patients from the Middletown facility to the main Christiana Care hospital and trauma center in northern New Castle County, DE. (Christiana Care has consistently won top honors in national evaluations of state and regional hospitals.) Right now, the Middletown facility provides new closer-to-home medical services to southern Cecil County —an area that has been characterized by state and federal agencies [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[   For those of us living South of the C&#38;D Canal, especially in the off-the-highway rural areas, there is good news for our health and our lives: the world-renowned Christiana Care Health System of Delaware has purchased a 108-acre site in Middletown, DE to develop a  24/7 state-of-the-art emergency room and medical facility with advanced and specialized health care. This would be the closest advanced medical facility for our southern Cecil communities.    Right now, the theoretical &#8220;closest hospital,&#8221; under Emergency Medical Services (i.e., county ambulance)  transport rules, is Union Hospital in Elkton, unless you are living right up against the border to Kent County, MD and its proximity to Chestertown and their University of Maryland Medical System-affiliated hospital.  But for most of us southern Cecil residents, any critical medical situation now usually requires transport to Union Hospital. If you know your rights under Maryland law, to demand transport to a more advanced hospital, you can then insist on transfer, after initial Union Hospital delivery, to the Christiana campus in northern Delaware, where you have access to 24-hour advanced and critical medical care.    Please, before all the Union Hospital donors and advocates attack us for this reporting of the facts, we realize that Union is a lot better [&#8230;]]]></description>
