Hospitals across Maryland, including Luminis Health, are seeing increased flu-related visits that may lead to longer emergency department wait times. We recommend wearing a mask at all Luminis Health locations, using Virtual Urgent Care for non-emergency needs, and going to the Emergency Department for severe or life-threatening symptoms while we continue to support our teams and care for our communities.
