There are moments when words feel inadequate.
The tragic events at Wilmington Hospital have left many across Delaware’s healthcare community heartbroken. As nurses, respiratory therapists, healthcare leaders, and caregivers, we know that hospitals are more than buildings. They are places where people dedicate themselves to helping others through some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
Today, we mourn alongside the Wilmington Hospital and ChristianaCare community.
We grieve the loss of a healthcare worker whose life was cut short, and we hold in our thoughts the individual who was injured, their loved ones, colleagues, and all those who witnessed this tragedy firsthand. We also recognize the emotional toll this event has taken on the caregivers, support staff, patients, families, and first responders who found themselves in an unimaginable situation.
Healthcare professionals show up every day with courage, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to others. They deserve workplaces where they feel safe, valued, and protected.
As members of Delaware’s healthcare community, we stand with our colleagues at ChristianaCare and with every healthcare worker who may be struggling to process this loss. In the days ahead, may we extend grace to one another, support those who are hurting, and remember the profound humanity that unites us in this profession.
Our hearts are with everyone affected.
