Leadership Christine Frost Vice President, Nursing and Chief Nursing Officer, Magnet® Recognition In 2019, Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center (AAMC) achieved our second Magnet® designation as a reflection of excellence inpatient and family-centered care, nursing professionalism and teamwork. Magnet recognition is awarded by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s (ANCC) Magnet Recognition Program®, which ensures that rigorous standards for nursing excellence are met, and excellent patient outcomes are achieved. With this prestigious credential, AAMC joins the Magnet community—a select group of fewer than 10% of U.S. hospitals. So far, only nine other hospitals in Maryland and two in Washington, D.C. have achieved Magnet® recognition since the program’s inception in 1990. Nursing Professional Practice Model Developed by the nurses at LHAAMC, the nursing professional practice model guides the nursing strategic plan and identifies practice expectations for all nurses. The PPM illustrates how nurses practice, develop professionally, communicate, and collaborate to provide the best quality care for the patients, families and communities served by the organization. The model illustrates the integration and alignment of LHAAMC’s organizational mission, vision and values with nursing practice. The central image of the model is a jewel-like lamp, a symbol that represents the historic town of Annapolis and is part of the Luminis Health logo. The lamp conjures the spirit of Florence Nightingale and, as hers did, serves as the beacon of light that the hospital represents to the community as it works to enhance the health of the people it serves., Nursing Professional Governance The voice of nursing is paramount at LHAAMC. Since 2006, nurses have participated in shared governance councils where they make decisions that drive nursing quality and practice across the organization. , DAISY Program Since 2010, LHAAMC has participated in the DAISY Award program, an international recognition program that honors and celebrates the skillful, compassionate care nurses provide every day. The family of J. Patrick Barnes established the DAISY Foundation in 1999 after he died from complications of an auto-immune disease. Throughout his hospitalization, Patrick and his family deeply appreciated the care and compassion of the nurses who cared for them. Learn more about the DAISY Foundation by visiting their website.

If bladder leaks or pelvic organ prolapse are holding you back, urogynecologic surgery might be the answer.
Our experts specialize in treating common problems of the pelvic floor, including incontinence, organ prolapse, and discomfort from these issues. Our goal is to get you back to living a full, active life without having to worry about leaks, pain, or embarrassment. What Is Urogynecologic Surgery? Urogynecology is an area of women's health that builds on gynecology and obstetrics. Our doctors have an additional three years of training in female urology, neurology, and colorectal surgery. We focus on problems of the pelvic floor — the sling-like muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue that support your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. Some of the conditions we treat include urinary and fecal incontinence, urinary tract infection, sexual dysfunction, and pelvic organ prolapse (when one or more organs in the pelvis slip down from their normal position and bulge into the vagina). When these pelvic health conditions don't respond to lifestyle changes, medication, or physical therapy, we offer a range of surgeries geared to your individual needs. Our surgical procedures are minimally invasive and use the latest technology., Why Choose Luminis Health for Urogynecologic Surgery? Our doctors combine knowledge from two areas of women's health — urology and gynecology. Many women suffer with pelvic floor problems for years, thinking incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse are “normal after having kids" or “just part of aging." We're here to tell you that these conditions are never normal — and you can do something about it. Here are some reasons to choose Luminis Health if you need pelvic floor surgery. We exhaust all other options before recommending surgery. We're not going to rush you into surgery that you don't need or want. First, we'll try more conservative approaches, such as lifestyle changes, medications, and physical therapy. We only recommend surgery if we don't see results from other treatments. We spend an hour with each surgical patient. In addition to a physical exam, we take the time to listen to our patients. We want to find out what bothers them, what their concerns are, and if they have questions about any procedures. Our surgery team is primarily made up of female doctors. We're well-known in the area for offering compassionate care — for women, by women. We have the busiest urogynecologic surgery site in Maryland. We are a high volume, state-of-the art surgical center. Because we're board-certified specialists, we often get referrals from other practices. We are leaders in the field. The American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology recognized the AAMC's Women's Center for Pelvic Health with the Safety Certification in Outpatient Practice Excellence for Women's Health. It is only one of two women's health practices in Maryland, and among only 95 in the U.S. to receive this designation., What to Expect from Urogynecologic Surgery Urogynecologic surgeries are usually performed under general anesthesia (that means you'll be asleep during the operation). You may be able to go home the same day. Some procedures are done in our office. Procedures like BOTOX® and urethral bulking may need to be repeated as their effects wear off with time. Your doctor may eventually suggest another type of surgery, such as a mid-urethral sling.
