Peninsula Regional Medical Center
Salisbury, Maryland

The Master Facility Plan includes a new replacement Emergency/Trauma Center with heliport, and new Intensive Care and Medical Intensive Coronary Care units, as well as significantly increasing the number of general medical beds and critical care beds (currently 360-bed facility). Total program involves 211,000 square feet of new construction and 53,000 square feet of renovation.

The expansion program consists of additions and renovations to the existing facility. A new 410-space parking structure is also being constructed as the first phase of this program. Major utility relocations will be necessary to accommodate the new construction.

Components of the project also include a new atrium for the main entrance of the hospital, with a dedicated entrance for the Heart Center. The emergency department and critical care unit will be housed in a new two-story tower, which is planned to accommodate two additional floors of shell space. Upon completion of the new critical care unit and relocation of the existing ICU, the entire south wing will be renovated into a 36 private bed stepdown unit. A new Outpatient entrance and a 5,100-square-foot addition for the cancer center will also be constructed.

The existing Emergency/Trauma Center was designed for 45,000 patient visits per year and is handling nearly 65,000. The new tower will more than double the size of the existing Center and will allow Peninsula Regional Medical Center to remain the regional trauma center and leader of emergency care on the Delmarva Peninsula. This tower is the centerpiece of the Medical Center’s expansion and renovation project.
