- News & Press ReleasesGeneral Page Tier 3BlogAccording to Newsweek and Statista Inc., Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center (LHAAMC) has been named one of the top hospitals in the world. LHAAMC made the publication’s World’s Best Hospitals 2021 List for providing exceptional healthcare. “This is truly an amazing accomplishment, especially when you consider only 350 hospitals in the United States made Newsweek’s World’s Best Hospitals List,” said Sherry Perkins, president of Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center. “This recognition validates the hard-work and quality of care our staff gives patients in our community. Every member of our team should be proud of this honor.” Newsweek collaborated with global data research firm Statista Inc. to rank leading hospitals, based on three data sources: hospital recommendations from peers, patient experience surveys and medical key performance indicators including: patient safety, hygiene measures and quality of treatment. “Our mission is to enhance the health of the people we serve,” said Dr. Stephen Cattaneo, president of the medical staff at Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center. “The responses from our patients speak volumes to the level of care and compassion we provide every single day.

- Infectious DiseaseGeneral Page Tier 3BlogThe pandemic has taught us that we need each other. There may be no better example than Holly Mollick and Larry Keeney. For 30 years, Holly has been cutting Larry’s hair at her Severna Park hair salon. At 77 years old, Larry is nearly deaf and his wife recently passed away. As part of Luminis Health’s “Be A Good Neighbor Campaign,” Mollick helped her friend register for the COVID-19 vaccine. But her kindness did not end there. She accompanied Larry to both vaccination appointments at Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center. “It’s important for me, because Larry is not only a great friend, but he’s 75% deaf, and I know he has trouble reading lips when people are wearing masks. It makes me feel good to know that I can take him to get his shot and remove any barriers,” said Holly Mollick. For his part, Larry described the process as quick and painless. He is forever grateful to his hairdresser. “My wife passed away four months ago, and she was my ears. I am helpless when talking to people because they do not take the time to try to communicate with me. There is no way that I would be here right now without this lady and her husband. They are our best friends. They’ve been our best friends for over 30 years,” said Larry Kenney. Luminis Health’s “Be A Good Neighbor Campaign” encourages residents to help someone who may have difficulty signing up for the COVID-19 vaccine online.0
- Infectious DiseaseGeneral Page Tier 3BlogThere are now three COVID-19 vaccines authorized for use in the U.S. – Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson. It’s natural that many are seeking out which is the “best” vaccine. The best vaccine truly is the one that you can receive first. If you have the opportunity to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, take it. Here’s why: All Prevent Severe Illness, Hospitalization and Death All three of these vaccines were 100% effective in clinical trials at preventing death. All are highly effective at preventing severe illness and hospitalization. Ultimately, these are the most important features of any vaccine. Waiting for a specific vaccine keeps you from protecting yourself against getting severely ill or dying of COVID-19. All Have Similar Side Effects The most common side effects are injection site pain, fatigue, headache and muscle pain. Some report fevers. It’s reported that younger adults are more likely to experience these. What we know as side effects are actually expected immune responses. They’re a sign your immune system is kicking into gear. They do not signal that the vaccine is unsafe. All Offer a Better Path to Protection Than Getting Infected COVID-19 can have serious, life-threatening complications. There’s no way to know how COVID-19 will affect you. Vaccination provides you protection without having to experience the illness. Every day you wait to get vaccinated puts you at higher risk of getting infected and seriously ill. Waiting for what you think may be the “best” vaccine isn’t worth the risk you take while waiting. The best vaccine is the one you can get the soonest.0

- Patient StoriesGeneral Page Tier 3BlogLuminis Health Chief Physician Executive Dr. Mitch Schwartz and Chief Medical Officer of Luminis Health Doctors Community Medical Center Dr. Sunil Madan, pen a note of thanks to our phenomenal doctors across the health system. On this Doctors’ Appreciation Day, allow us to take the opportunity to express our profound gratitude for your heroic efforts and sacrifices during what has been unprecedented circumstances for our health system, our greater nation and world. It goes without saying that this past year was tough. That is an understatement. The COVID-19 pandemic brought us heartache and uncertainty about life in ways we never could have imagined. In fact, that uncertainty undermined what we call life. As physicians, you were asked to take the lead in helping society eradicate this devastating virus and restore the health of individuals and communities — all while grappling with your own uncertainties and fears. There was little time to process our shifting world. But as the patients kept coming, you cared for them in the face of that fear. You kept showing up to save lives long before the path to vaccination was clear. You answered the call and, in the process, coped with extraordinary demands. In spite of the cruel moments of this pandemic, you thrived. You set new records and raised the bar. You excelled during one of the most challenging times our world has ever come to bear. You were integral in the migration onto one, health system-wide electronic medical record platform to ultimately enhance patient care. You made COVID-related research initiatives possible, allowing us to improve the health of our patients and advance knowledge for the greater good of the communities we serve. And across Luminis Health, you ushered in a new patient-office experience by performing more than 279,000 telehealth visits during the pandemic. The list goes on. Your heroism, without a doubt, came with personal sacrifice. Your deep devotion and care toward others often meant abandoning your own wellbeing. To continue to deliver the best possible care, we must take care of ourselves. Looking after ourselves and our colleagues has never been more important. We are grateful for your heroism, selflessness, deep devotion and care toward others. The world is better because of it. We extend our admiration and deepest gratitude for you on Doctors’ Appreciation Day and every day.0
