My heart breaks for the Wilmington Hospital community in the wake of gun violence today in a place meant for care and healing. The medical professionals and staff at Wilmington Hospital have cared for me and my family. They are our neighbors and friends. The hospital is a place of education and innovation. They provide medical care, mental health care, and social services.

It is unacceptable that so many of our public spaces can no longer be counted on as safe. It is infuriating that community spaces continue to be met with gunfire. And so, I will continue to support legislative and community-based efforts to curb gun violence in all its forms because every person deserves to feel safe and be safe across the First State.

This Men’s Health Month, let’s encourage the men in our lives to prioritize both physical and emotional wellbeing. Seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Summer can bring a welcome change of pace, but for children and teens it can also be adjust new routines, schedules, and expectations. When families, caregivers, schools, and communities work together to support healthy habits, we help create environments where young people can thrive.

What an incredible and moving event celebrating the “everyday heroes” across our state. Thank you to the New Castle County Paramedics for hosting the 14th Annual New Castle County EMS Sudden Cardiac Arrest Survivor Reunion.

A packed house celebrated the work of first responders like dispatchers to heroic bystanders doing CPR to paramedics giving advanced life support. Honorees also included the individuals who survived out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest, highlighting the critical "Chain of Survival" and the incredible work these teams are doing.

During Pride Month, we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and reaffirm the importance of creating environments where everyone feels safe, supported, and connected. Behavioral health includes belonging.

Behavioral health impacts every community in Delaware, and collaboration remains at the center of this work.

We loved getting a chance to celebrate the Behavioral Health Professionals of the Year last night with the Delaware Department of Education (DDOE), Secretary Cindy Marten, Governor Matt Meyer, 2025 BHPOY Jaclyn Durant, and of course the truly impressive group of nominees!
It was inspiring to hear about the work they and their colleagues are doing every day in our schools. Lots of “little” moments turn into a huge impact.
Congratulations to Taylor Richey from Woodbridge School District on being named this year’s winner.
