Our CVT Junior students went on a mission to find this cuddly visitor on campus.

When Rachel didn’t show up to class, Dr. Michon Revader knew something was wrong. That instinct and a fast 911 call ended up saving Rachel’s life. In our newest LSU Health Shreveport podcast episode, Rachel shares her journey to LSU Health Shreveport up until the day everything changed. Watch the full conversation to meet our soon-to-be first graduate of the LSUHS Cardiovascular Technology Program who's been given a second-chance at life.
