With decades of executive leadership, Terry Murphy has led Bayhealth not only through a response of COVID-19 but has worked on expanding the Dover-based health care system outside its traditional borders. In the last five years, Bayhealth has been leading the way in the southern Delaware health care arms race by building a new hybrid emergency department in Harbeson as well as a new multi-million hospital campus in Milford, striking partnerships with Post Acute Medical Care and Nemours Children’s Health to better serve residents. Bayhealth, a health care system with a net worth of $760 million, continues to look to improve quality of service and has launched several medical residency programs to retain talent in the First State. Before his tenure as chief executive, Murphy served as vice president and chief operating officer of Bayhealth Medical Center and vice president of the southern region of Bayhealth Medical Center.
