TidalHealth Closes Rural Maryland Primary Care Clinic Nov. 15

TidalHealth will close its Federalsburg, Md. primary care clinic effective Nov. 15, redirecting patients to its other practices in Bridgeville, Seaford, Delmar and Georgetown. The closure comes as the Salisbury-based health system's operating margin worsened from -3.4% in fiscal 2025 to -3.8% in fiscal 2026. TidalHealth said the decision followed careful consideration but reaffirmed its commitment to serving the Federalsburg community through its broader network.

    Maryland Indicts Man for Running Unlicensed Assisted Living Home

    Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown announced a Baltimore City grand jury indicted Daquan Dwight Thomas, owner of Aim to Inspire Care Forever, for operating an assisted living program without a license, a state felony. Thomas had applied for a license in January 2025, but the Maryland Department of Health's Office of Health Care Quality denied it in January 2026. A March 2026 joint inspection found residents requiring assisted living-level care in an unsafe property, prompting the Baltimore City Fire Marshal to relocate them to hospitals or licensed facilities. Thomas faces up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine if convicted; the case was investigated by the Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud and Vulnerable Victims Unit.

    Why it mattersThe case underscores state enforcement priorities against unlicensed residential care operators serving vulnerable, often Medicaid-eligible, populations and signals continued coordination between Medicaid fraud units and health facility regulators.
