With $1 Million Gift to Riverside Area Revitalization, Christiana Care Makes an Impact on Community Health

As Wilmington’s Riverside community embarks on an extraordinary revitalization effort, Christiana Care Health System is making an impact on health with a $1 million gift to REACH Riverside Development Corporation that will support community health and youth development programs.

Riverside, in the northeast corner of Wilmington, is one of the city’s oldest and most underserved neighborhoods. Christiana Care’s gift adds to the landmark community redevelopment initiative, announced in November, which includes government, private and nonprofit investment, and robust community engagement.
