Jeffrey Fried, CEO, of the Lewes-based health care organization, writes an open letter explaining the reasons for the pending $123 million settlement worked out between lawyers for the sexual abuse victims of former pediatrician Earl Bradley and Beebe. 
“The parties to this suit have acted in the best interest of the victims of Bradley’s horrific acts and their families, and have worked collaboratively to promote a solution aimed at healing and reconciliation. Though the legal proceedings may be coming to an end, we must recognize that for many individuals, and for our community as a whole, a tragic legacy remains and the most vulnerable in our community will continue to need our support and assistance,” Fried wrote.
He went on to reassure the community that the cost of settlement will not affect Beebe’s ability to provide medical services in Sussex County.
