Vital Signs
Vital Signs
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.
