Dr. Karin DiBari Says Community Appeals to Physicians Who Want Balance
Western Sussex County, Delaware, and the Eastern Shore attract healthcare providers who appreciate the family-friendly communities, she says.
“It’s a great place to raise a family, and there are lots of things to do. We’re attracting some highly qualified people because they just want a good quality of life and an area with a high quality of care. You can still practice at the top of your license because you’re supported by all the clinicians and specialties.”
By growing the physician network, she will interest more providers. “Doctors want to work with other highly qualified doctors,” she maintains. In 2021, TidalHealth has received more than 30 clinical achievement recognitions from Healthgrades, the leading online resource for information about physicians and hospitals.
She’s looking for medical assistants and other office staff. With some physicians nearing retirement age, she also seeks general surgeons. Soon, TidalHealth will expand medical services, including cardiology and ophthalmology, in the rapidly growing Millsboro, Delaware, area and will need providers and staff.
When becoming TidalHealth, the leadership kept the community at the top of the values list, in part because TidalHealth Nanticoke had such a rich history of serving the area. Says DiBari, “They are open to serving everybody — it’s purely about the patient.”
