New Beebe providers focus on primary care and women’s services

Beebe Healthcare recently welcomed physician assistant Sarah Stamm, PA-C, and certified nurse midwife Sarah Brissey, CNM, MSN, to its network of skilled healthcare providers serving Sussex County. Both are employed by Beebe Medical Group.

Stamm is a physician assistant who sees patients at Beebe Primary Care Lewes. She focuses on disease prevention, and treatment of acute and chronic medical conditions; she is accepting new patients ages 8 and up. Call 302-645-3332 for an appointment.

Stamm began her career at Beebe Healthcare, working as a physician assistant in the hospital’s intensive care unit as well as the healthcare system’s walk-in care clinics. In 2017, she pursued an opportunity at Mid-Atlantic Family Practice, where in addition to managing care for patients diagnosed with acute and chronic medical issues, she played a critical role in developing and implementing treatment protocols and plans for patients diagnosed with or suspected to have COVID-19. During this time, she also served as a preceptor for nurse practitioner students.

In 2022, Stamm transitioned back to Beebe, eager to contribute to the healthcare system’s growth, vision and values.

“I come to work each day with a personal goal to help every patient be the healthiest version of themselves,” said Stamm. “Beebe is a central part of this community, and I am happy to be part of a collective group of people who work in the best interests of our patients.”

Stamm is a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, where she earned a master’s degree in physician assistant studies. She also earned a bachelor’s degree in biological science from the University of Delaware. Stamm is certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants.

Brissey is a certified nurse midwife who serves patients at Beebe Women’s Health Rehoboth. She provides comprehensive obstetrical care including prenatal, labor and delivery, and postpartum services for patients as they navigate the processes of pre-conception planning, pregnancy, childbirth and the early phases of motherhood. Brissey also sees patients in need of routine gynecologic care, covering annual GYN visits, preventive screenings and contraceptive guidance.

Brissey is a graduate of Frontier Nursing University in Hyden, Ky., where she earned a master’s degree in nursing with postgraduate concentration in certified nurse midwifery. She also earned a bachelor’s degree in nursing from Wilmington University and an associate degree in nursing from Wor-Wic Community College. Brissey is certified by the American Midwifery Certification Board.

Prior to joining Beebe Healthcare, Brissey worked as a certified nurse midwife for Chesapeake Women’s Health in Easton, Md. Earlier in her career, she held positions as a triage nurse for Eastern Shore OB/GYN in Salisbury, Md., a beside nurse on the med-surg unit at Atlantic General Hospital in Berlin, Md., and a rehabilitation/ventilator unit nurse at Berlin Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.

“I have worked for both small community hospitals and large hospital systems throughout my career,” said Brissey. “At Beebe, you get the best of both worlds, with an opportunity to provide advanced care for women and families across Sussex County, but in a place that carries that small, community-based feel – where each patient is cared for as an individual, and with empathy and understanding.”
