GIVE DELAWARE PATIENTS MORE HEALTHCARE OPTIONS Header

TAKE ACTION

Give Delaware Patients More Healthcare Options

Delaware’s Certificate of Public Review (CPR) law requires state approval before certain healthcare providers can open new facilities or significantly expand services.

​

Add your name and urge Delaware lawmakers to reform or repeal CPR so qualified healthcare providers can more easily open and expand services for Delaware patients.

Healthcare Options

Why Healthcare Access Matters

That means a qualified provider may be ready to invest its own money to bring more healthcare services to Delaware—but still need government approval to move forward.

​

This matters because Delaware already has documented healthcare access problems. Sussex and Kent Counties have federally designated shortages in primary care and mental healthcare, and many Delawareans travel long distances or wait weeks or months for needed care.

​

Delaware itself has recognized the problem. In its 2026 Rural Health Transformation Plan, the state committed to “eliminating or loosening” CPR requirements to reduce regulatory barriers to opening new healthcare facilities in underserved areas.
