Surgical Patient Instructions



Bowie Health Center is a family facility. We go out of our way to create a very caring sort of place. So the atmosphere is, to use a popular expression, warm and fuzzy. Our patients receive not only medical care of the highest quality, but a sense of caring of a very personal nature as well. From our entire staff, from the physicians and nurses to the technicians and volunteers. That kind of special attention and concern really speeds up the healing process. It also makes everyone, young and old alike, feel comfortable here.

Urgent/Emergency Medicine: Our Specialty

urgent care

Bowie Health Center is a modern, full-service treatment facility for all types of routine injuries and sicknesses as well as minor traumas. Each of our attending physicians is a board certified specialist, with extensive training in emergency medicine. Each is also trained and certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS). They are assisted in providing the highest quality medical care by a team of registered nurses, laboratory technicians and X-ray technologists.

Urgent/emergency treatment is provided to some 16,500 patients each year. Although most care is rendered to adults and children for relatively minor injuries (cuts, burns, sprains, broken bones, bruises, rashes, fevers, infections, etc.), about one quarter of those seen are treated for traumas, severe lacerations, heart attacks and other life-threatening conditions.

The most current therapy, including the use of blood clot dissolving drugs is provided for heart attack victims. And for quick, accurate evaluation of chest pains, complete EKG testing and cardiac monitoring are available.

Diagnostic Testing

As the only on-site radiological and laboratory testing service in the Bowie/Crofton area, the Center is fully staffed and equipped to provide a full range of diagnostic testing procedures.

More than 28,000 tests are conducted annually, including X-rays, EKGs, tissue analysis, throat cultures, urinalyses, and blood studies. Tests are also administered to help individuals monitor cholesterol levels and to identify the possible onset of diabetes.

All testing at the Center is performed by registered X-ray technicians and laboratory technicians certified by the American Society of Clinical Pathologists or its equivalent.

Same Day Surgical Care

Many surgical procedures which previously were thought to require hospitalization are now being done safely and conveniently at Dimensions Surgery Center. The Surgery Center is located at the west entrance of the Mullikin Medical Center.

With three well-equipped surgical suites and two procedure rooms available daily, there is rarely any delay in scheduling needed surgery at Dimensions Surgery Center. We accommodate you and your doctor for the specific time and day that suits you best.

Most importantly, we have our same day surgery patients in and out quicklytotally eliminating the need for costly hospital stay. Generally in less than an hour following surgery, we have you on your way home for continuing recovery.

Ask your doctor about this special program. Or give us a call at 301-809-2001. Well be happy to fill you in on all of the

details.
