- General Page - Tier 2Community Health Needs Assessment Every three years, we "take the pulse" of our community's health through what's called a Community Health Needs Assessment . Similar to checking your own pulse and other vital signs, this process allows us to see how well our systems are working and make adjustments as needed. We collect as much data as possible from a variety of sources. We use that information to determine our community's highest-priority health needs and develop an action plan to address them., Informe de beneficios para la comunidad Nuestros informes anuales sobre beneficios para la comunidad te permiten conocer mejor nuestras actividades y asociaciones comunitarias. Encontrarás varias historias sobre personas a las que ayudamos y podrás saber más sobre cómo rompemos barreras y fomentamos la salud.

- General Page - Tier 1Ethlyn Carroll of Mechanicsville, Md., underwent several surgeries for gynecological cancer in 2021. After feeling unheard by her physician, Ethlyn decided to contact Dr. Monica Jones, chair of Women’s and Children’s services for Luminis Health. “I sought a second opinion, and I am so glad I did. Dr. Jones and her team welcomed me,” Ethlyn says. Dr. Jones referred Ethlyn to radiation treatment at the DeCesaris Cancer Institute (DCI). Instead of driving one hour each way from her home to DCI, Ethlyn and her husband decided to stay at the Hackerman-Patz House, an affordable accommodation option for LHAAMC patients. “Ms. Cati Revelle [manager of the Hackerman-Patz House] welcomed us with open arms,” Ethlyn says. Before starting radiation treatment, Ethlyn had a simulation done by Radiation Therapist Leah Vinson. “She was so warm and loving. I thought this is the way everyone should be treated,” Ethlyn says. Ethlyn and her husband go home on the weekends and enjoy being active members of their church, including through virtual bible study and Sunday service. Ethlyn is also a writer. She is working on her second book of poetry. Throughout this journey, Ethlyn says God and her husband have been her source of strength. “No one can take care of me like my husband, Gary, can.”
