Not everyone moving to Delaware is getting ready to retire. The growth of the Baby Boomer population is causing an explosion in businesses and industries that provide services we will need as we age. The Health Care Industry is one that is growing by leaps and bounds as our local hospitals recruit new doctors, nurses and other health care professionals.

To the east of Milton is Lewes, Delaware, home to Beebe Medical Center, only about a 10 – 15 minute drive from the heart of Milton. Beebe has been on a major expansion for several years now and they are opening outpatient facilities inland. This is a benefit to the towns of Milton, Millsboro and Millville, three of the towns in Coastal Delaware that are also seeing tremendous growth in their populations.

To the north of Milton is Milford and Dover, Delaware, two locations of BayHealth which is also expanding into the town of Milton and surrounding areas. BayHealth is recruiting doctors and other health professionals and many of them find that Milton is a great town in which to live. It’s close to the hospital but it is also close to the resort areas of Lewes and Rehoboth Beach. I’ve always thought it made the most sense to live where I’d like to be when I am not working.

This month I have two settlements in the town of Milton and both buyers are relocating to join BayHealth! From what I hear, it is just the beginning of more newcomers that will be calling Milton, Delaware home.
