Dr. Ann Coles II, Overseer – (301) 975-7660; info@healthydcandme.org

(WASHINGTON, DC) -The M.I. Mother’s Keeper Mental Health Advocacy organization whose programs, outreach, and campaigns of awareness have helped countless families across the District of Columbia, and Prince George’s County, since 2016, with navigating mental health challenges, diagnoses, service linkage, resources, & education, invite you to join in the Celebration of Life & Homegoing for their matriarch and the heart of their organization, Ms. Regina Catherine Fleming, a District of Columbia resident. 

     Ms. Fleming’s grace, courage, and bravery have helped to define and impact the intentional work of the M.I. Mother’s Keeper organization to ensure that comprehensive, culturally appropriate, and complete systems of mental health and trauma induced care are made available for all District citizens.  Ms. Fleming has endured over 40(+) years in D.C.’s mental & behavioral health systems with less than adequate care which also systematically lacks higher standards for lower income and poorer citizens.  

     The M.I. Mother’s Keeper organization, in Ms. Fleming’s honor and  namesake intends to continue the work that our leadership coalition is spearheading in helping the District with delivering a higher quality of living for our dear citizens of mental health and homelessness who continue to receive stigma-based care in systems that are rife with unacceptable professionalisms and seemingly little to no oversight.

     Enough is enough! Mental health does matter and always will.  Our beautiful Ms. Regina C. Fleming will forever be remembered and memorialized through the continuance of our work and the Spring 2023 realization and deliverance of the state of the art,

Capital City Emergency “Level II” Trauma & Wellness Center in Ward 8 S.E. Washington, D.C., to help address Health Equity in Low-Income Communities of the District of Columbia.

“Please join us in the spirit & celebration of our Queen!

Mental Health

At Capital City Emergency Trauma & Wellness Center patrons with mental health emergencies that include life threatening situations in which an individual is imminently threatening harm to self or others, severely disoriented or out of touch with reality, has a severe inability to function or is otherwise distraught and out of control, will have access to quality and psychiatric emergency services and referrals.

Physical Health

Whether your life threatening medical emergency involves excessive or uncontrollable bleeding, head injury. difficulty with breathing, severe pain, heart attack, vision impairments, stroke, physically collapsing, or seizure related, rest assured that our professionals will properly assess and evaluate the level of response that will be most needed to help provide stabilized care solutions and minimize complications as well as reduce early mortality.

Holistic Healthcare

We offer healthcare solutions that will support the whole person which includes their physical, psychological, emotional, social, & spiritual wellbeing. Research supports that because your mental state can affect your overall health we support and offer the inclusion of complimentary and alternative medicine(CAM) practitioners and naturopathic doctor recommendations and referrals as a part of our Outreach Community Resource Center’s care regimen and support.

Rehabilitative

Emergency care can typically result in traumatic injuries for which rehabilitation becomes an essential component of care in trying to achieve the best long-term outcomes for the patient. In addition to speeding up recovery times and helping to prevent further complications, rehabilitative care also helps to support a patient’s self-managed recovery once discharged from our facility. Our Outreach Community Resource Center works closely with our trauma center’s discharge department to assure that patrons requiring these services are linked with qualified professionals who will be accountable to the standard of care required to help the patron be successful in their recovery.
