In partnership with local radio personality and entrepreneur Wayne “Wild
Wayne” Benjamin, Jr., University Medical Center New Orleans (UMC)
is excited to launch “Vital Signs,” a comprehensive health
and wellness campaign that was launched on October 10. Designed to shed
light on critical health issues affecting the New Orleans community, the
campaign will focus on topics such as stress, trauma, depression, generational
trauma, grief management, and holiday stress.
Vital Signs will also feature content aimed at reducing the stigma around
mental health in communities of color, providing specific resources and
tools to help families address and break the cycles of generational trauma.
The campaign will be available across multiple platforms, ensuring the
hospital can reach those in need, where they are, with the resources to
find help.
