REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. - Delaware senators Chris Coons and Lisa Blunt Rochester, and Representative Sarah McBride attended a ribbon cutting of Beebe Healthcare's extended mobile health clinic in Rehoboth Beach today to celebrate securing over 3 million dollars in total federal funding for Beebe Healthcare.
They say the funding will go towards improving community health in Sussex County.
"From expanding Beebe’s mobile health clinic to supporting their work to combat substance use disorders, the federal investments secured by the delegation will help meet patients where they are and create a healthier Sussex County," says Senator Blunt Rochester.
“Investing in quality health care across Delaware, especially in our rural communities, remains a top priority for our congressional delegation,” says Representative McBride.
"I'm proud to have secured federal investment in Beebe’s mobile units to help them meet the needs of Delaware’s most vulnerable, provide care, and save lives," says Senator Coons.
