LEWES — Charles Burton and i.g. Burton & Company have sponsored two pieces of art at Beebe’s new South Coastal Health Campus near Millville.

Earlier this spring, President Tom Protack provided Burton with a comprehensive tour of the new Emergency Department and Cancer Center on Route 17 near Millville.

During the tour, Mr. Burton said he was impressed with the facility. 

"I think art brings a calm and peaceful presence and it will certainly help relieve anxiety and promote healing in this new facility," he said in a prepared statement. "It definitely adds even more beauty. I am happy to support the arts, especially when sometimes it is the first thing that gets cut when institutions look at budgets. I am glad Beebe has made original artwork a part of their overall plans.”

Mr. Burton selected two pieces: in the emergency department, “Orange Sky by Shannon Shelby” and in the cancer center, “Rehoboth at Sunrise by Red Moulinier,” pictured. Custom plaques distinguish each piece as, “Sponsored by i.g. Burton & Co.”

“My family and my employees rely on Beebe Healthcare all the time when we need care,”  Mr. Burton, who is also a member of the Beebe Medical Foundation Board of Directors, said. “I know the investments made by generous businesses and individuals in the community help Beebe to grow and build new facilities like this one. I am honored to support Beebe’s South Coastal Health Campus and encourage others to do the same. I recently opened up new dealerships in Berlin and know that many of our i.g. Burton customers come from this south coastal community.”

As a community based, not-for-profit healthcare system, Beebe Healthcare relies on the generous support of the community. To learn more about Art Sponsorships at Beebe’s South Coastal Health Campus, go online or call the Beebe Medical Foundation at 644-2900.
