When Katie needed the best, she chose Ochsner.
Which is why when Katie tore her ACL in a skiing accident, she went straight to Ochsner. Our team of orthopedic + sports medicine surgeons and physical therapists were on the job. Listening to her goals and charting a course, our team of experts never stopped...until Katie was ready for her next triathlon.
Sylvia's spirit is stronger than cancer.
When Sylvia Chapman went in for her routine mammogram on Sept. 10, 2020, at the Lieselotte Tansey Breast Center at Ochsner, she did not expect anything would be out of the ordinary. Upon noticing some abnormalities in her scan, Sylvia's radiologist, Dr. Brett Roberts, and his team performed a biopsy and confirmed what no one wants to hear, "You have breast cancer." After assuring Sylvia that she was in good hands, Dr. Roberts explained what to expect next, including surgery at the Gayle and Tom Benson Cancer Center.

Our pediatric surgery team didn’t just fix Quentin’s heart, they made it even stronger. Whatever your reasons are for doing the things you do; we’ve only got one. You.
Cancer's tough, but Shane is tougher.
Shane Norris is a 12th generation New Orleanian and a music enthusiast who received a prostate cancer diagnosis in March 2020. Shane wanted the most advanced care and a non-invasive treatment option.

Shane was the first person in Louisiana to have the HIFU procedure for the treatment of prostate cancer, which saved his life, so that he could get back to the music he loves.
