We’re kicking off Season Two with host Dr. Toni Flowers and special guest Dr. Jeffrey Elder, Chief Medical Officer of University Medical Center New Orleans and an emergency medicine physician. Together, they explore how LCMC Health prepares for one of the city’s biggest and most iconic seasons: Mardi Gras. From managing massive crowd influxes and common parade-day injuries to preparing for large-scale emergencies, Dr. Elder shares how LCMC Health teams train year-round to keep residents and visitors safe.
The conversation also highlights LCMC Health’s partnership with the New Orleans Health Department, including first aid stations along parade routes, emergency preparedness, and the ways care extends beyond hospital walls during Carnival season. Plus, a look at how LCMC Health employees embrace the spirit of Mardi Gras—both as caregivers and community members.
