Proposed correspondence to Kevin McDonald, Chief, Certificate of Need, Maryland Health Care Commission in support of Luminus Health Doctor’s Community Medical Center’s Certificate of Need application for Obstetrics.
Background
The Council sitting as the Board of Health was briefed on Tuesday, February 2, 2021, on Luminus Health Doctor’s Community Medical Center (LHDCMC) Certificate of Need (CON) application for Obstetric Services.
Representatives from LHDCMC provided pertinent information relative to their proposal to expand, upgrade, and renovate the existing hospital at 8118 Good Luck Road, Lanham, Maryland.
