Covering everything from pediatrics to primary care, mental health, and urgent care, Atracare supports Sussex County at every stage of life.
As Sussex County struggles through an acute shortage of primary care physicians, a long-term proposal to build a medical school has been gathering support while efforts are being made to find short-term solutions.
The Sussex Economic Development Action Committee commissioned a $100,000 study, completed in May, to determine the feasibility of establishing a medical school in Sussex County. Delaware is one of three states that does not have a medical school.
Delaware stands last among states nationwide for access to primary-care physicians, meeting the needs of only 14.85% of its residents, according to figures released this month.

As we age, our healthcare needs evolve, requiring a specialized approach that considers the unique challenges and complexities associated with aging.

But what exactly is gerontology, and why is it important for older adults to consider seeing a gerontologist for their primary care needs?
It can be challenging to find a Primary Care Provider in Sussex County, let alone someone who specializes in promoting the well-being of older adults. That is why Atracare was more than enthusiastic to welcome Lenai Austin, Board Certified Gerontologist, who is moving to Ocean View, DE to apply her knowledge of aging individuals and to improve the quality of life for the older people in this county by providing primary care.
