Bowie Mayor, Wife Donate $100K To Luminis Health’s Behavioral Health Services

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — To help fulfill Luminis Health’s mission of enhancing the health of the people and communities it serves, Bowie Mayor Timothy Adams and his wife, Sheila Tillerson Adams, have donated $100,000 to Luminis Health’s behavioral health services in Prince George’s County.

Luminis Health Doctors Community Medical Center opened the Behavioral Health Pavilion in the summer of 2022 to meet the growing needs of mental health services in Prince George’s County. The Pavilion currently offers a broad continuum of services including:

• Outpatient Mental Health Clinic to provide therapy and medication management for adults and adolescents
• Behavioral Health Walk-In Urgent Care for non-emergent behavioral health concerns for ages four years old and up. This service is available Monday thru Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
• Psychiatric Day Treatment Program which includes a mental health partial hospitalization program and an intensive outpatient program for adults and adolescents
• A 16-bed inpatient psychiatric unit for adults

“Since 2019, Luminis Health, a locally formed health system, has invested $85 million at our Lanham campus, including expanding behavioral health services,” said Deneen Richmond, president of LHDCMC. “The Adams’ generosity and commitment to our community warms my heart tremendously. Their financial support will provide access, treatment and programming to Prince Georgians who deserve high-quality care close to home. It is my sincere hope these much needed services will help end the stigma of receiving mental health and substance use treatment.”
