As we bid farewell to 2023, there’s no better time to reflect on the journey we’ve taken in the realm of healthcare and the strides we’ve made towards enhancing the lives of our patients. As we step into the new year, we’re excited to shine a spotlight on three integral aspects of our healthcare initiatives: our wound care department, our “Keep Louisiana Walking” program, and Diabetes Relief of Louisiana.

Wound Care Excellence: A Cornerstone of Healing
Our wound care department stands as a testament to our unwavering dedication to providing specialized care for individuals grappling with venous leg ulcers and diabetic foot wounds. Led by a team of seasoned professionals, our department is committed to the highest standards of care, ensuring that every patient receives personalized attention and tailored treatment plans.

“Keep Louisiana Walking” – A Campaign for Awareness, Education, and Early Intervention of Peripheral Artery Disease
“Keep Louisiana Walking,” a visionary program conceived by Dr. Gary Jones, aims to raise awareness about peripheral artery disease (PAD) and empower individuals to recognize its signs and symptoms. The campaign encourages mindfulness of leg or foot wounds that are slow to heal, unexplained leg pain or cramping, decreased nail and hair growth on feet and legs, and discoloration of feet and ankles. Dr. Jones, driven by a passion for his patients, underscores the importance of early intervention to minimize amputations and preserve the highest possible quality of life.

Diabetes Relief of Louisiana: Transforming Lives, Restoring Health
Diabetes Relief of Louisiana has garnered praise from patients, as well as primary care providers, reporting a myriad of positive outcomes. From restored energy and diminished nerve pain to controlled blood sugar and reduced medications, the testimonials echo the transformative impact of our diabetes care program.

Looking Ahead With Optimism
As we welcome the new year, our commitment to healing remains unwavering. Dr. Gary Jones and our dedicated team continue to push boundaries, striving for excellence in cardiovascular & thoracic care, wound management, and diabetes relief. We invite you to embark on this journey towards better health with us – because your well-being is our priority.
