PEGGY NALEPPA COMMENTS ON THE PASSING OF JOSE ALVARADO, MD

“Peninsula Regional Medical Center, its staff, volunteers and physicians are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Jose “Joe” Alvarado, who died earlier today at the University of Maryland Medical Center’s Shock Trauma unit in Baltimore from injuries sustained in an automobile accident earlier this week.

Dr. Alvarado was a dedicated physician leader, an outstanding pediatrician and a well loved, admired and respected member of our Medical Staff. Dr. Alvarado, who joined the Peninsula Regional family in 1988, had served as our Chief of Pediatrics since 2006. It was a role in which he excelled, and his knowledge and vision was invaluable in the clinical advancement and growth of our Pediatric Unit during his tenure as its Chief.

We join with the thousands of his current and past patients, friends, loved ones, his wife and children in mourning his passing and celebrating the life of an exceptional physician, friend, husband and father.”
