As we remember the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, we also reflect on the resilience and dedication of healthcare leaders who stood strong in the face of unimaginable challenges.

Our very own Charlotte Parent, RN, MHCM, now Vice President of Business Development at UMC, was among those on the front lines, caring for patients and saving lives in the storm’s aftermath. Her leadership then, and now, continues to shape the future of healthcare in New Orleans.

We are proud to honor her story and the strength of our community. 💙
