Health Considerations in Delaware
Delaware's small geographic footprint means most residents have relatively close access to major medical centers in Wilmington, as well as facilities in neighboring Philadelphia and Baltimore, but urgent care centers serve an important gap for same-day non-emergency care. The state's coastal and humid climate, combined with proximity to the Chesapeake Bay watershed, makes seasonal allergies and Lyme disease notable health concerns during warmer months.
