In pursuit of this promise, the health and safety of our patients and colleagues drives our strategy, our decisions and the investments we make in the community. This mindset serves as the foundation of our mission. Making sure our patients feel that access to their healthcare is in their own hands is one reason we have made the significant investment in a new electronic medical record system that allows patients to manage their entire healthcare journey through a single source. We are thrilled to offer the MyChart app to patients throughout southwest Louisiana beginning mid-September 2024. With appointment scheduling, convenient bill pay, test results and prescription refills right at your fingertips, managing your healthcare needs has never been easier. The array of new technology being used at LCMHS is not just about convenience—it’s also about personalization. For instance, the robotic-assisted technology used for knee replacement allows surgeons to uniquely care for each patient. I’m confident that these advancements are not just improving the healthcare landscape at LCMHS but also are improving the health of our patients and their families. As you read through this issue of Memorial Medical Milestones, I urge you to share in the hope and excitement that I feel about the trajectory and future developments of your community health system. Sincerely, Devon Hyde, President and CEO
