Company History
TidalHealth Peninsula Regional
In the early 1890s, Dr. George W. Todd was making an increasing number of house calls on a growing population in and around the Salisbury area. With his team of six and an open buggy, there were many nights he would return home with his heavy beard soaked by rain or frozen stiff by the cold, and his horses too tired to reach the stable.
Dr. Todd understood the loss of his horse team would be the demise of his business, and medicine couldn’t continue to be practiced as it had for decades. He, a simple country doctor but a man of great vision and leadership, began a campaign to build a regional hospital in his hometown. Dr. Todd enlisted senators, leading businessmen of the era, and a community that contributed lemonade glasses, washbowls, oyster crackers, a tub and cakes.
On October 1, 1897, in a six-bedroom home within shouting distance of where TidalHealth Peninsula Regional now stands, Dr. Todd opened Peninsula General Hospital. Here, his grandson performed the region’s first open-heart procedure in 1974, and his great-grandson started practicing emergency medicine two decades later.
From necessity, and in this case "straight from the horse’s mouth", came one of healthcare’s most influential advancements on the Delmarva Peninsula: a heritage of caring that continues today with the same diligence and pride demonstrated by the founding fathers and mothers so many years before.
