They’ve been where our medical students are now.
So we asked LSU Health Shreveport School of Medicine alumni from the classes of 1986, 1996, 2006 and 2016 to look back on their own journeys and share a little advice with the physicians of tomorrow.
Thank you to all of our alumni for the difference you make every day in the lives of your patients, and for your impact on healthcare across Louisiana and beyond.

Happy Birthday Dr. Johnson!

What does Senior Vice Chancellor Dr. Lester Johnson do on his birthday? The same thing he does every day​! Share the incredible things happening at LSU Health Shreveport with our community. This morning, he stopped by KTBS 3 to join Nate Fluharty and LSUHS alum, Phillip Rozeman, MD, on the ArkLaTex Forward podcast to discuss how LSU Health Shreveport is making a difference for access to rural healthcare across North Louisiana. Don’t worry - afterwards, he had some cake too.

Please help us wish Dr. Johnson a happy birthday!

Each year at An Evening For Healers, we share powerful stories of patients in our community whose lives have been impacted by our local heroes and healers.

Lineman Hunter Alexander was electrocuted while working to restore power after the January ice storm. Hunter was rushed to a hospital near Ruston but needed specialized care due to the severity of his injuries.

Once the parking lot was cleared of ice, a helicopter was able to land and bring Hunter to Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport.

He sustained extensive third- and fourth-degree burns involving both upper extremities, with particularly devastating injury to the left hand and forearm.

Today, Hunter is home and is undergoing therapy to restore function after this life-altering injury.

This is only part of his story. Watch Hunter’s full journey on our YouTube channel - https://youtu.be/gMwzWbJD3K4
