Bayhealth Medical Center is working to recruit at least 60 doctors to Kent and Sussex counties over the next several years to fill an anticipated need for physicians in its fast-growing health system, hospital officials said. Bayhealth, which owns and operates Kent General Hospital in Dover and Milford Memorial Hospital in Milford, is looking for internists and family practice doctors, as well as specialists in areas including orthopedics, urology and obstetrics/gynecology, officials said. Dr. Gary Siegelman, Bayhealth’s chief medical officer, said the hospital worked with a consultant last year on a needs assessment that examined population trends, demographics, the number of physicians already practicing in the area and how many are expected to retire soon. The assessment showed “a fairly significant need over the next several years” Siegelman said, as the population of Kent and Sussex counties continues to grow, driven by an influx of retirees.
