Ultrasound
We love to check out those growing babies, but did you know that ultrasounds aren't just for pregnancy?An ultrasound is a great way to see the structure of soft tissues and organs in the body. Your provider might order an ultrasound to see if you have a kidney stone or to check if you have an inflamed gallbladder.What Is an Ultrasound?Ultrasound is an imaging technology that uses sound waves. An ultrasound wand sends out safe, high-frequency sound waves (too high for the ear to hear). The sound waves bounce back at different speeds, based on the type and location of tissues they hit.The ultrasound wand captures those slightly changed sound waves as they return. Then a computer analyzes those sound waves to create a moving image.We use ultrasounds to assess blood flow, view internal organs and examine parts of the body. Common places ultrasounds look at are the abdomen, breasts, thyroid and prostate. Because the sound waves don't break through very far, ultrasounds don't offer the best view of bones or structures hidden behind a lot of soft tissue. This is why doctors only recommend ultrasound for certain reasons.Sometimes doctors try ultrasound first and then suggest another test if it doesn't help diagnose the problem.

Message from CEO Victoria W. Bayless I am pleased to announce that Luminis Health will offer 2 administrative fellowships for 2025-2026, and I encourage you to apply. From personal experience beginning my career as an administrative fellow, I appreciate the value of these programs. The fellowship is a one-year immersion into a complex health care system through substantial hands-on projects. This fellowship is an outstanding learning and career development opportunity for a recent health care master's graduate/candidate. Our fellows are able to apply their learning and continue to enrich their career in a vibrant and growing medical center. Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center (LHAAMC) and Luminis Health Doctors Community Medical Center (LHDCMC) formed a new, integrated health system in July 2019. Luminis Health operates 850 acute and sub-acute beds with $1.25B in revenue and close to $100M in community benefit. Grateful for its team of 7,200 employees, medical staff, and volunteers, Luminis Health continues to expand to meet community needs. The health system treats a region of more than 1.8M people with 32,900 hospital admissions, 140,900 emergency department visits, 32,000 surgeries, and more than one million outpatient visits. Luminis Health provides high-quality coordinated care across the region, increasing access to its services and improving health outcomes. I personally serve as mentor and preceptor to the fellows and assure that they not only have exposure to Presidents and senior executives across all functional areas of the health system, but also to governance through the Board of Trustees, Medical Executive Committees, and executive team meetings, as well as planning sessions and retreats. By receiving intensive exposure to health care decision-making, the fellow can apply concepts and skills learned in the classroom to a dynamic health care delivery system. This opportunity includes working on special projects aligned with our strategic vision, such as our annual operating plan and budget. I encourage you to review the information below. If you have any questions, please contact our current administrative fellows, Madhulika Nallani at [email protected] and Kylen Zolotow at [email protected] .
