LCMC HEALTH’s BEYOND EXTRAORDINARY PODCAST RETURNS FOR ITS SECOND YEAR

Beyond Extraordinary will continue to highlight system-wide initiatives and services as well as situate LCMC Health as a leader in modern healthcare 

LCMC Health is excited to announce that its podcast, Beyond Extraordinary, is returning for its second year, with a new schedule. Episodes will now be released on the second Tuesday of every month. Also returning are our two co-hosts, Dr. Toni Flowers, Corporate Chief Opportunity & Social Responsibility Officer, and Kristen Gradney, Chief Wellness Officer and Corporate Vice President of Total Rewards. With a focus on specialty care and innovation, this podcast highlights how LCMC Health provides health, care and education beyond the extraordinary.  

For this year’s first episode, Dr. Flowers sat down with Dr. Jeffrey Elder, Chief Medical Officer of University Medical Center New Orleans (UMC), to discuss how LCMC Health prepares for the Carnival season and the influx of people it brings to our city. As our region’s only Level I Trauma Center and Verified Burn Center, UMC and its staff are uniquely equipped to handle any incident or emergency. Moreover, many of our hospitals are conveniently located either on or directly adjacent to parade routes in New Orleans and our surrounding parishes. Lastly, they discussed LCMC Health’s partnerships with local municipalities and emergency medical services to operate first aid stations along the parade routes to ensure celebrants’ safety and health. 

The podcast can be found online on LCMC Health’s website and will also be available on platforms such as YouTube, Apple Podcasts and Spotify once it is released on Tuesday, Jan. 13.
