MILFORD, Del. – Bayhealth’s Sussex Campus has received a $75,000 grant from the Carl M. Freeman Foundation to go towards COVID-19 disaster relief.

Officials say this is the first time Bayhealth has received a grant from the Carl M. Freeman Foundation, which typically supports and promotes innovative community-based leadership and giving.

“We all have to do our part individually to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. The Carl M.

Nothing could be more important today than to support your local healthcare system,” said Michelle Freeman, President and Chair of the Carl M. Freeman Foundation.

Bayhealth plans to use the grant for COVID-19 testing, PPE, equipment to treat patients, and the well-being of healthcare professionals at the campus.
