TidalHealth, Atlantic General Hospital sign definitive agreement to bring both systems together

MARYLAND – Atlantic General Hospital and TidalHealth have signed a definitive agreement to bring the two health systems together under TidalHealth.

By combining both organizations, AGH and TidalHealth will be able to offer a more comprehensive range of services to residents of Worcester, Wicomico, Somerset, Sussex, and surrounding counties. This is the creation of an expanded, locally owned and operated health system designed to improve access to coordinated inpatient, outpatient and emergency care, and wellness services across the entire Delmarva Peninsula.

With the signing of the agreement, both teams will follow a structured integration plan to ensure a smooth transition for all patients, team members, and providers. Patients can expect the same high-quality care they have always received from each organization with enhanced service options becoming available as the integration continues.

The partnership between the two companies will:

• Provide Atlantic General access to an integrated electronic medical record through Epic
• Improve the coordination of services and access to care for patients
• Provide Atlantic General capital funding to expand services
• Strengthen the hospital’s ability to retain and attract a high quality workforce
