Louisiana's Favorite Doctor
Recognizing Healthcare Royalty
Everywhere else, a job well done earns you a plaque. But in Louisiana, it deserves a celebration.
That's why we’re asking patients across the state to help us crown the best doctor around. This spring, one special physician rose to the top as Louisiana’s Favorite Doctor — and enjoyed a royal surprise hosted by LHA Trust Funds!
Meet This Year’s Winner
