Camden & Kent County Medical Supply Hub – Connecting Dover, Bayhealth & Delaware’s Capital Region
Camden, Delaware—twin city to the state capital of Dover—sits at the crossroads of Bayhealth Hospital, Dover Air Force Base, ChristianaCare satellite clinics, and the fast-growing Route 13 business corridor. Our LAC Health counter inside Walmart #5039 at 263 Walmart Drive keeps Bayhealth Kent Campus, Nemours Children’s, Delaware State University, and Kent County EMS stocked with compliant, same-day medical supplies. Minutes from Route 13, Route 1, and the Camden bypass, this hub prevents caregivers from driving to Wilmington or Salisbury when every minute matters.
Within 15 minutes lie Bayhealth Hospital (largest in Kent County), ChristianaCare Primary Care in Camden, Nemours Children’s Specialty Care, Dover Behavioral Health, Veterans Affairs Dover Clinic, and a robust network of dialysis, oncology, and ambulatory surgery centers spanning Dover, Magnolia, Felton, and Smyrna. Dover Air Force Base medical squadrons, Delaware Department of Corrections, NASCAR’s Monster Mile, Firefly Music Festival, and the Amish farming belt rely on this supply lane for trauma kits, behavioral health meds, pediatric equipment, and occupational readiness caches. Whether supporting coastal storms, F-16 missions, or Dover Downs race weekends, this Camden hub delivers.
Founded in 1783, Camden became the “Breadbasket of the Revolution,” and later the rail/road nexus feeding Dover’s government hub. Today, Bayhealth’s $365M expansion, Dover AFB’s global mortuary operations, and Delaware’s life sciences tax incentives converge here. When hurricanes push up the Delaware Bay or Route 1 shuts down, local caregivers expect a reliable, central staging point. LAC Health’s Camden counter ties together small-town clinics and national defense assets with the same precision.

Camden’s Revolutionary Past & Medical Present
Founded by Quakers in 1710, Camden supplied grain to Washington’s troops and later became a railroad junction linking Wilmington to the Delmarva Peninsula. The city weathered the 1930s “great nor’easter,” the 1972 Agnes floods, and 2012’s Hurricane Sandy—each reinforcing the need for local supply caches. Bayhealth’s 2019 expansion and Dover AFB’s global mission turned Camden into the state’s logistics anchor.
Kent County Demographics
Kent County population 190,000: 55% White, 27% Black, 9% Hispanic, 5% multi-racial, 4% Asian. Military families (Dover AFB) and state workers boost diversity. Median household income $69k. Asthma and diabetes rates exceed state averages; opioid overdoses spiked 18% since 2020. Spanish, Haitian Creole, and Tagalog are common. Rural southern Kent lacks public transit, making localized logistics vital.
Regulatory Compliance & Certifications
Complies with Delaware Board of Pharmacy wholesale licensing, DEA Schedule II-V, FDA/IRB clinical trial handling, Joint Commission/DNV standards, OSHA/NIOSH requirements, DoD/DHA medical logistics guidelines, FEMA ICS documentation, and HIPAA/HITECH safeguards.
