Not even Doctors James and Richard Beebe could have envisioned the precedent-setting medical facility that would bear their name. The sons of a local merchant and housekeeper, the Beebes shared a common goal of introducing modern medicine to a rural area where such services were nonexistent.

Some of the brothers’ early emergency operations were performed on a kitchen table situated in a nearby farmhouse with instruments sterilized in boiling water on a kettle stove.

When the two brothers joined practice, they opened a tiny four-room hospital adjacent to their father’s home. It had just enough space for an operating room and two patient rooms with a total of three beds.

Today, the top-rated medical center in Lewes is a 210-licensed-bed, nonprofit seaside community hospital. Beebe’s specialized service lines include cardiac and vascular, surgical services, oncology, women’s health, and orthopaedic services.
