Luminis Health Hosts Blood Drive at State House, Receives Honor for Service

Luminis Health relaunched the Maryland General Assembly’s annual blood drive on February 19th, ending the event’s pandemic-era hiatus. The Maryland General Assembly awarded Luminis a special citation for providing longstanding healthcare services to lawmakers during legislative sessions. The honor was presented to Luminis Health CEO Tori Bayless during a special recognition on the House floor, highlighting the organization's dedication to serving 1.8 million people across Anne Arundel and Prince George’s Counties, the Eastern Shore and beyond.

“This honor is a testament to our extraordinary team of clinicians, caregivers, and staff who are committed to delivering high-quality, patient-centered, and accessible health care, by exemplifying our RISE Values−Respect, Inclusion, Service, and Excellence,” said Tori Bayless, CEO of Luminis Health.

“Every blood donation has the power to save lives,” said Delegate Anne Healey, who partnered with Luminis to sponsor the event. “This initiative is deeply personal to me because my own son’s life was saved by multiple blood transfusions. By donating blood, we directly support our community and help ensure that patients receive the lifesaving care they need.”

Luminis Health’s Blood Center Team stationed its donor bus outside the House Office Building Wednesday. All donated blood will stay local, supporting Luminis Health’s hospitals, emergency departments, and patients undergoing both routine and critical treatments.

“Donating a pint of blood can save up to three lives,” said Tori Bayless. “On behalf of Luminis Health and Delegate Healey, thank you to everyone who donated and gave the gift of life during this important event at the State House.”
