Major teaching health system with 1,336 beds and specialty centers across Delaware
ChristianaCare operates a large nonprofit health system anchored in three acute-care hospitals, primary and outpatient services, home health, and specialized centers (Level I trauma, neonatal ICU, stroke, heart & vascular, cancer). The hiring footprint reveals clinical dominance (500+ healthcare roles) with minimal engineering (5 roles), reflecting a traditional hospital operations model; they're actively replacing Cerner with Epic Systems while maintaining a legacy stack (Siemens, Carestream imaging, Workday, Oracle). Current friction points cluster around access, coding accuracy, and HIM workflow optimization—common pain points for health systems mid-transition to modern EHR platforms.
Notable leadership hires: Associate Program Director, Medical Director, Program Director, Stroke Director
