SALISBURY, Md.- TidalHealth Peninsula Regional has again lit its holiday star decoration atop the hospital. The star, measuring 22 feet from tip to tip, will remain illuminated throughout the holiday season.
The star has been the centerpiece of TidalHealth Peninsula Regional’s holiday decorating theme for the last 26 years. In 1995, following the death of Maryland State Police Trooper First Class Edward A. Plank Jr. who was lost in the line of duty, TidalHealth Peninsula Regional began dedicating the lighting of the star each year in Plank’s memory. It also serves as a tribute to the hospital’s close working relationship with local emergency responders and law enforcement officers on the Delmarva Peninsula.
TidalHealth is asking all residents to take a moment during this holiday season to thank local emergency responders, law enforcement officers and friends and family serving in the military, and to remember local heroes like Plank who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our safety.
