    April is Organ Donation Awareness Month – so we kick off a series of episodes to educate the public about organ donation and transplantation.

Our guests will be representatives of the @LouisianaOrganProcurementAgency (LOPA) talking about the history of organ donation and transplantation in the United States and the regulatory bodies that oversee it. This episode also covers the types of organs that can be donated, as well as the process to get a donated organ to a recipient when a donor passes away.

    Mental health matters now more than ever. Our older population and their caregivers already face the challenges that come naturally with aging – forgetfulness, agitation, and confusion and adding today's stresses of quarantine rules, isolation, and vaccination on top of that have caused many to suffer. It can be too much at times for anyone to deal with alone. Our team is here to help adult caregivers navigate their options for support. That is why it is important to learn more about the services our Behavioral Health team offers. Dedicated to our 55 and older population by providing short-term support in a caring and dignified manner. Caregivers can hear from our nursing leaders about the type of families who best benefit from a short-term stay in our controlled and supportive environment, giving themselves as well as their family members a little break when needed.
