Delaware hospitals: racial-equity scorecards

7 Medicare-certified Black MMR 57.90/100k

7 Medicare-certified hospitals serve Delaware, represented by the Delaware Healthcare Association. This page aggregates CMS Hospital Compare measures — overall star rating, mortality / safety / readmission / patient-experience measure-group performance — for each of those facilities.

ChristianaCare's Wilmington and Newark campuses carry the majority of Delaware's Medicaid-covered admissions. Delaware's statewide health scorecard is hosted by the Delaware Health Information Network.

The state's recognized safety-net hospital systems — the facilities that carry a disproportionate share of Medicaid and uninsured admissions — include: ChristianaCare (Newark, Wilmington), and Nemours Children's Health. Each has its own detail page below.

Two editorial notes on scope. First, CMS does not publish a racial-disparity scorecard per-hospital at national scale; what we surface below is the facility's overall CMS rating paired with any race-stratified metric we could find in a primary source (AHRQ Disparities Atlas, a state discharge scorecard, or a published study). Second, we do not rank hospitals as 'worst for Black patients' without a primary-source citation — the legal standard for that claim requires it.
