It’s National Nurse Practitioner Week, a time to recognize how nurse practitioners (NPs) improve access to primary care.

NPs are advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) with graduate-level training and in Maryland, they have full practice authority, which means they can diagnose, treat, prescribe, order tests, just like physicians.

With growing doctor shortages, nurse practitioners are playing a key role in keeping health care timely and local.

At Luminis Health, our NPs collaborate with physicians and care teams to help you get the care you need , when and where you need it.

To learn more or schedule an appointment, visit Luminis.Health/PrimaryCare.

Our community health providers and educators come from the areas we serve and tailor health advice to fit people's everyday challenges.

We’re shining a light on our Care Management teams across Luminis Health.

Our care managers, social workers, and care management assistants guide patients and families through important transitions in care. They coordinate services, connect resources, and ensure every patient leaves the hospital with the support they need to continue healing.

Together, these teams strengthen the bridge between hospital and home, helping people move forward with confidence and compassion.
Thank you to our Care Management professionals for the empathy, expertise, and dedication you bring to our mission every day.
