Primary Care Expanding with Dr. Fahmi
Fahmi H. Fahmi, MD, has joined MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital’s Primary Care office in Lexington Park, bringing another primary care option to the southern portion of St. Mary’s County. The office is located at 20945 Great Mills Road, Suite 203, in Lexington Park, Maryland.
With more than 16 years of practicing medicine in St. Mary’s County already under his belt, Dr. Fahmi is board certified in internal and pediatric medicine. He understands the medical conditions of this region.
“The patient population here has complex medical conditions,” said Dr. Fahmi. “It presents a challenge, not just from the medical aspect, but from the standpoint of community health.”
Dr. Fahmi sees patients at his Lexington Park office and is the Medical Director of MedStar St. Mary’s Health Connections, the community outreach department of the hospital. MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital’s Primary Care office will work closely with Health Connections and the Access Health office in Lexington Park. Access Health was established as part of Maryland’s Health Enterprise Zone (HEZ) program, a state-wide initiative designed to bring medical services to disadvantaged neighborhoods. Greater Lexington Park was selected as one of five HEZ sites for the four-year, $16 million pilot project.
“With Health Connections and the HEZ, this office is the third piece of the pie,” said Fahmi. “Our office will rely heavily on the services of Health Connections, and Health Connections will be able to utilize this office to present programs. It is a win-win situation.”
Dr. Fahmi received his bachelor of medicine, bachelor of surgery degree from the University of Khartoum, Khartoum, Sundan. He performed a medicine/pediatrics residency at Seton Hall University in New Jersey. He is a member of the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
