We got the beat!
Formed during Mardi Gras 2025, a marching krewe—Heart Beat, a volunteer krewe of health care professionals from LCMC Health’s hospitals, clinics, and practices across the New Orleans area! Learn more here.
Who we are
Heart Beat made its debut in February 2025 with more than 150 members who are moving to an 80s beat! Heart Beat is an 80s-themed marching krewe comprised of LCMC Health team members. Though our logo may not be showcased, we are excited to share the essence behind our group of healthcare workers.
Our why

Why a dance krewe?
The better question is why not a dance krewe? But seriously, the reason is LCMC Health is New Orleans-born and our staff of 20,000+ loves the local culture as much as anyone.
During the off-season
Krewe members volunteered over 360 hours in the community giving back at local events such as the Crescent City Classic and New Orleans Heart Walk.
