WSFS donates $50K to Bayhealth’s education programs

WSFS CARES Foundation Donates $50,000 to Support 

Bayhealth’s Graduate Medical Education Programs 

The Bayhealth Foundation recently received a $50,000 donation from the WSFS CARES Foundation to support the growth of Bayhealth’s Graduate Medical Educations (GME) programs.

“The WSFS CARES Foundation is proud to support the Bayhealth Foundation in its efforts to recruit and prepare exceptional medical graduates through the Graduate Medical Education Residency Program,” WSFS Bank Senior Vice President, Director of Community Strategy Vernita Dorsey said in statement.

The gift will allow Bayhealth to continue expanding the GME programs, bringing more resident physicians to care for patients in central and southern Delaware. Bayhealth currently offers GME programs in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine and General Surgery, and is actively recruiting its first cohort of Emergency Medicine program residents to begin July 2023.

“One of the key tenets of the WSFS CARES Foundation is strengthening those in need, which we’re able to accomplish through partnerships with organizations like the Bayhealth Foundation,” Dorsey said. “Bayhealth is preparing the next generation of physicians to support health and quality of life in Delaware and the growing population in Kent and Sussex counties.”

“The Bayhealth Foundation and our GME programs appreciate the generosity of the WSFS CARES Foundation,” Bayhealth Foundation President Lindsay Rhodenbaugh said. “Thanks to their donation, we’re able to support enhancements to our GME programs that mean our residents are getting the best education possible to care for generations of Delawareans for decades to come.”
