Hospital announces new specialists and ongoing community outreach

Hospital leadership told the board that new clinical staff are joining in late August and early September: a new rheumatologist (Dr. Atala), a psychiatrist (Dr. Kaylee Denny) and a new hospital medicine doctor (Dr. Dyer) were named as additions. Board members emphasized recruitment successes and noted the addition of what will be the first male primary care physician at Saint Charles Parish in the last three years.

Leaders also highlighted community outreach efforts—stating the hospital participates in roughly 40–50 community events per year—and said the auxiliary recently funded scholarships for four high school seniors pursuing medical careers. The board encouraged community support for auxiliary fundraising events that fund these scholarships.
