“Palliative care gave Stormy the space to say, ‘I have these conditions, but I don’t have to focus on every medical decision. I can focus on my life right now.’ The staff was extraordinary. They checked on him often but never intruded, always making sure he was comfortable. They adjusted his medications, what he received, how he received it and when, entirely based on what he needed in the moment.” - Joy W.,
patient’s caregiver and partner
"Ochsner turned out to be an answer to prayer. From the moment I arrived, the doctors, nurses and staff treated me not just as a patient but as family. Their empathy, professionalism and genuine concern gave me, and my loved ones hope during the most uncertain time of our lives." - Edwin S., cardiology patient
"My father's kidney function was declining, and it was clear he would need a transplant. I went through the steps to determine if I was a match, and I was! Now, two years later, both my dad and I are in great health. It was such a blessing to be able to do this for him." - Abbie M., organ donor
"On March 27, 2022, Ochsner gave me my life back. Under the care of Dennis Sonnier, MD, and the incredible transplant team, I received a liver transplant that saved me and opened a door I had only dreamed of walking through. The nurses did far more than complete tasks; they comforted and held hope for me when I couldn’t. It is the greatest honor of my life to begin my nursing career where my second chance began." - Abigail B., transplant recipient
