Established in 1897 by Dr. George W. Todd with six beds in an old home, the institution once known as Peninsula General Hospital has grown to contain approximately 300 beds.[2] It serves nearly 500,000 patients every year in a multitude of specialties. Close to 2,000 babies are born at TidalHealth Peninsula Regional every year. There are approximately 3,300 employees, placing it among Salisbury's largest employers.[3]

Outside of its main hospital location, it includes a network of specialty and family physicians, a network of labs and pharmacies, plus two health complexes in Millsboro, Delaware [4] and Ocean Pines, Maryland.[5]

Steven Leonard has been president and CEO since January 2018.[6][7]

In January 2020 Peninsula Health System, parent of the then named Peninsula Regional Medical Center, merged with Nanticoke Health Services of Seaford, Delaware.[8] On September 1, 2020 the health system was officially renamed TidalHealth Services. The renaming coincided with a rebranding of all affiliated institutions with the TidalHealth branding.[9]
