Thanks to all who attended the information session on Jan. 30 by Luminis Health AAMC and Gilchrist Lifecare Institute. It was a lot to process in that short period of time, and many residents were not able to attend, so we are sending links to the PowerPoint presentation with an invitation (below) from Jennifer Lagrotteria, AAMC Foundation.

WHAT IS AN AGE-FRIENDLY HOSPITAL? The Civic Association was pleased to offer a presentation on the strides that Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center (LHAAMC) is making toward becoming an “age-friendly” hospital. Representatives from LHAAMC and Gilchrist Lifecare Institute described their partnership to bring hospice, palliative care, and geriatric supportive care to Anne Arundel County. We also heard about the Acute Care for the Elderly unit, as well as the specialized training and accreditations helping to make LHAAMC a pioneer in serving seniors.
LHAAMC demonstrates its commitment to the highest standards of care for our community’s older patients through The Institute for Healthy Aging (IHA). The IHA provides a personalized, results-oriented approach to care, focusing on what really matters to patients and their families. LHAAMC is one of the first hospitals to be named an age-friendly hospital, sharing the title Pioneer with just four other hospitals across the country. Additionally, LHAAMC recently became the third hospital in Maryland to achieve Level 3 Geriatric Emergency Department accreditation from the American College of Emergency Physicians. Gilchrist Lifecare Institute is a nationally recognized nonprofit with a 27-year reputation of excellence in geriatric supportive care and hospice care. Working together, LHAAMC and Gilchrist provide an integrated continuum of care for older individuals across all settings in Anne Arundel County.
