- News & Press ReleasesGeneral Page Tier 3BlogGlendale, MD — As new federal data shows more women are delaying prenatal care, Luminis Health Doctors Community Medical Center (LHDCMC) is hosting its third annual Community Baby Shower Saturday, April 11, 2026 from noon to 4 p.m. Due to growing popularity and a desire to reach more families, LHDCMC is partnering with Reid Temple A.M.E to host this year’s Community Baby Shower at the church’s campus in Glendale. The Community Baby Shower is free and open to the public and will support expectant mothers and families with children up to age 2 through: Educational presentations on pregnancy, maternal mental health, and lactation. Local vendors offering baby essentials and supportive services. A raffle for breast bumps, a car seat, and stroller. Diaper and other baby giveaways. “During the pandemic, Reid Temple A.M.E. Church was a trusted partner in helping us educate and vaccinate the community against COVID-19,” said Temi Oshiyoye, Luminis Health’s director of Community Health Improvement. “We are proud to partner again to ensure families have the knowledge, resources, and support they need for a healthy pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey.” The need for early and consistent care is more urgent than ever. A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that a quarter of women delay prenatal care, which increases the risk of complications and maternal mortality. The trend is especially concerning in Prince George’s County, where eight out of 10 women leave the county to deliver their babies. Black women also continue to face disproportionately high maternal mortality rates, approximately 50% higher than the national average. LHDCMC is committed to addressing the maternal health crisis. Next month, the hospital will break ground on a new Women’s Health Pavilion on its Lanham campus. The pavilion will have inpatient obstetric services, including labor, delivery, and postpartum care. These expanded women’s health services are scheduled to launch in 2028. Once fully operational, LHDCMC expects to deliver approximately 2,000 babies each year. “By expanding access to comprehensive women’s health services, we can help reduce maternal and infant mortality rates in our community and build healthier, thriving families for generations to come,” said Deneen Richmond, president of LHDCMC. “Our annual Community Baby Shower is one way we are helping families start that journey with the support they deserve.“ In addition to expanding hospital-based services, Luminis Health is strengthening its investment in community-based prevention efforts. This summer, the health system will launch the Start Well Preconception Program, a cohort-based initiative designed to support women before pregnancy. Led by registered nurses, midwives and doulas, and community health team members, the program connects participants with trusted clinical guidance and a supportive peer network as they navigate important health decisions. Sessions include education and on-site health screenings such as A1C testing, diabetes risk assessment, nutrition counseling and blood pressure checks. Thanks to a generous grant from Care First and the Greater Washington Community Foundation, the program will be offered free of charge beginning in July, and no insurance is required. Together, these efforts reflect Luminis Health’s commitment to ensuring every family in Prince George’s County has access to the care, education, and support needed for a healthy baby before, during, and after pregnancy.0

When you're standing, your feet and ankles support your entire body weight. Activities like running place up to four times that much force on them. And in many parts of your feet and ankles, only a thin layer of skin protects your bones and nerves. All of this makes them vulnerable to issues.Common work- and sports-related injuries, fractures and deformities include:Achilles tendon rupture.Ankle and foot arthritis.Ankle and foot trauma.Bunions, hammertoes and claw toes.Congenital defects and acquired deformities.Fractures.Heel pain.Ligament sprains and tears.Pediatric and newborn deformities and injury.Plantar fasciitis.Post-traumatic reconstruction.Stress fractures.Tendonitis.The inner workings of these joints are complicated. Your feet alone are home to 66 joints and a quarter of all your bones. So diagnosing and treating foot and ankle problems requires very specialized knowledge and skills.That's exactly what our highly trained foot and ankle care team brings to your treatment. Our specialists have extensive experience treating problems from ingrown toenails and bunions to gout and clubfoot. We treat patients of all ages, from babies and teens to older adults.Whenever possible, we use non-invasive treatments such as physical therapy. Still, sometimes an operation is your best option. In that case, our surgeons use the latest methods. These reduce the time you have to spend in the hospital, if any. And after surgery, our physical therapists help improve pain and movement.0
