lcmh.com 9 Supporting high school athletes Memorial’s commitment to sports medicine also extends to high schools across Calcasieu Parish. Since 1987, Memorial athletic trainers have been providing on-site medical care and injury prevention support for student athletes, coaches and parents. These athletic trainers are often among the first to respond when an injury happens. Their presence helps schools identify injuries quickly, guide appropriate treatment and support safe return-to-play decisions. For students and families, that means trusted guidance is available when it is needed most—on the sidelines, in the training room and throughout the recovery process. Where community and care come together Memorial’s commitment to Southwest Louisiana is also reflected in the events, programs and partnerships that bring people together across the region. From health education and safety training to local fundraisers, community celebrations and family-friendly events, Memorial’s outreach efforts are designed to support people where they already live, work, learn and gather. Through programs such as Stop the Bleed training, CPR education, wellness events and health fairs, Memorial helps share practical information that can make a difference before someone ever becomes a patient. These efforts support prevention, early detection and emergency preparedness, while giving individuals and families tools they can use in everyday life. Memorial also supports local walks, runs, fundraisers and familyfriendly events that reflect the heart of Southwest Louisiana. Some raise awareness for important health causes. Others celebrate the music, food, traditions and shared experiences that bring people together. Whether Memorial team members are sharing health information, helping community members prepare for emergencies or supporting local initiatives, the goal remains the same: to be present, helpful and connected to the people of Southwest Louisiana.
