BERLIN — Peninsula Regional Medical Center presented a $12,000 check to the Ocean Pines Association to mark the community’s 50th anniversary last week at the Delmarva Health Pavilion.
“On behalf of the Association and Board of Directors, I want to thank PRMC for their generous donation,” said Ocean Pines Association President Doug Parks. “It’s a real benefit and it’s not just a benefit to the folks in Ocean Pines, but to the surrounding community.”
The presentation officially recognized Peninsula Regional Medical Center as a Diamond Sponsor of Ocean Pines’ 50th anniversary, which is being celebrated throughout 2018 with several community-wide events.
“The association’s residents are indeed blessed to have great service providers close by, all of the small businesses that contribute to the community as well as this phenomenal array of medical facilities and services led by PRMC,” said Ocean Pines General Manager John Bailey. “A huge thanks to PRMC for its dedication to improving the health of our community and to enhancing the draw of people to this area and specifically to Ocean Pines.”
Jennifer Cropper-Rines, chair of the 50th Anniversary Committee, welcomed attendees including local dignitaries Maryland state Sen. Jim Mathias, Maryland state Delegate Mary Beth Carozza and Worcester County Commissioner Chip Bertino.
Peninsula Regional Medical Center’s President/CEO Steve Leonard, Vice President of Strategy and Business Development and Chief Business Officer Christopher Hall and Vice President of Ambulatory Services and Corporate Compliance Officer Tim Feist were on hand to present the check and highlighted their commitment to the Ocean Pines community.
