Beebe Healthcare announced board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon Marisa H. Amaral, MD, MS, has joined its medical staff.

Amaral sees patients at Beebe Cardiothoracic Surgery in Lewes and in-hospital at Beebe's Margaret H. Rollins Lewes Campus. Cardiothoracic surgeons focus on surgeries in the chest cavity, such as heart and lung.  Amaral specializes in surgeries of the lung and chest wall, while Drs.

Amaral earned her medical degree from Albany Medical College in 2007. She completed both a surgical research residency and a general surgery residency at Baystate Medical Center in Massachusetts, followed by a residency in cardiothoracic surgery at UC-Davis Medical Center. She then completed her fellowship in thoracic oncology and robotic surgery at Moffitt Cancer Center in 2017.

“Cardiothoracic surgery is a staple of providing the best care to our community,” said Stephen Keiser, Beebe Medical Group chief administrative officer. “Dr. Amaral is another great addition to our medical staff. Please welcome her to our community and team Beebe.”

“Diseases of the lung may range from chronic conditions to cancer, often leading to complex cases and a multidisciplinary approach to find the best outcome for each individual. I’m passionate about educating my patients and partnering with them in their care so they can lead their healthiest life,” Amaral said. “I am thrilled to join Beebe’s experienced medical staff and to care for patients in Sussex County.”
