Building an inclusive women’s health program

Luminis Health Doctors Community Medical Center (LHDCMC) has a history of serving as a beacon of hope and wellness for Prince Georgians. Our commitment to providing high-quality, accessible care means regularly examining our community to develop new programs that address the growing needs of our diverse residents. We believe people in the county need and deserve accessible women’s health services.

A new four-story patient tower will include a dedicated women’s center for labor, delivery, and postpartum care with rooms designed for a family-centered birth experience. Our vision sets us up to achieve a future where every Prince Georgian is able to access the healthcare they need and want, in their own community, where they feel most comfortable and with outcomes that aim to eliminate maternal and infant mortality.

Emerging themes for the next 5 years

Residents feel safe accessing health related services regardless of migrant status.
Residents have better perception of health care in county
Better use of local services
Systems that allow residents to access services close to home
Consideration of the needs of all residents

Comprehensive Care

Our vision is to build an inclusive women’s health program. A program that will support community needs now and into the future. We will provide the following services — within PG county — that are currently available in other locations across Luminis Health:

Preconception health & family planning

While many couples struggling with infertility feel alone, infertility is a common issue.

Prenatal & postpartum support

A supportive community is key to staying grounded during the ups and downs of pregnancy.

Labor & delivery services

Pregnancy is a deeply meaningful time as you prepare to meet your precious bundle and feel that out-of-this-world love.

Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery

If you have pelvic pain, irregular periods, or excessive bleeding, the gynecologic surgery team at Luminis Health can help.

Pelvic Health & Urogynecology

Women with pelvic problems need providers who specialize in both female sexual and reproductive health and the urinary and digestive systems.

Breast health services

Breast cancer may be common, but there are many ways to lower the risk of developing it.
