Cough & Cold Line

In anticipation of an increase in respiratory illness in our community -- flu, RSV and COVID-19 -- ChristianaCare has set up a new COUGH & COLD LINE to help you out! If you are 18 and older and don’t feel well, CALL 302-623-7400, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Through a series of prompts, the ChristianaCare COUGH & COLD LINE will provide helpful info on how best to manage your cold, flu and COVID-19 symptoms at home. We’ll also guide you on when you should seek care.

Through the ChristianaCare COUGH & COLD LINE, we can help connect you with a ChristianaCare virtual primary care provider.

If your need is more urgent, there are 16 ChristianaCare Go-Health Urgent Care Centers in DE and MD. Save your spot in line or set up a virtual visit.

Total Care for Delaware Women and Their Babies

Every woman deserves a healthy pregnancy journey, and every baby deserves a healthy start to their life. Our Healthy Beginnings program is here to provide supportive care before, during and after pregnancy. The program is free for women who are eligible.

Patients can be connected to services including personal health and wellness, nutrition, family planning, mental health, and prenatal care.

How Does the Program Work?

Healthy Beginnings is part of Delaware’s DE Thrives Healthy Women, Healthy Babies initiative for Delaware residents. The program is dedicated to improving the health of women and children across the state and reducing our infant mortality rate. More information on this can be found on their website.

Healthy Beginnings participants have the ability to be connected to doctors, nurse practitioners, social workers, dieticians, case managers, and behavioral health specialists. Areas of focus include:

Preconception care: This identifies and addresses risks to future pregnancies, even if you aren’t planning to get pregnant.
Prenatal care: This ensures you and your baby’s wellbeing, from conception to childbirth.
Postpartum care: This involves follow up support after delivery.
