The Medical Center has invested nearly $150 million dollars over the past decade on state-of-the-art clinical, surgical, medication dispensing, diagnostic imaging and information technologies.

The Surgical Services department at the Medical Center performs nearly 15,000 surgeries annually, is the region’s leader in minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic surgical procedures and features the Delmarva Peninsula’s first da Vinci Surgical System Robot utilized for prostate and cardiac surgery.

Peninsula Regional was recognized by HealthGrades, the nation’s leading independent health care ratings organization, in 2009 with five star ratings in a number of clinical areas including excellence awards in Pulmonary Care and Critical Care. The Medical Center was the only facility on the Delmarva Peninsula to receive their Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence. This exclusive award places Peninsula Regional in the top 5% of hospitals in the nation for hospital-wide clinical excellence.
