Meet Michael Voorhies, MD, a pain medicine doctor at Ochsner Health Center - Belle Meade.

Dr. Voorhies takes a thoughtful approach to pain medicine, focusing on what matters most to his patients. He explains, “Pain means different things to different people, however, it is always disruptive to the person experiencing it. My job gives me the opportunity to help them reach more enjoyable and functional levels.”

For Dr. Voorhies, the most rewarding part of his job is building relationships while helping each patient regain their functional abilities to live life fully.

“The best part of my job is the people I interact with every day. It is very fun and rewarding to work with my coworkers and my patients towards a common goal,” he said.

With November being Diabetes Awareness Month, Trung N. Tran, MD, an endocrinologist at Ochsner Medical Center - West Bank, would like to share his knowledge on diabetes prevention and management.

According to The American Diabetes Association, more than 38 million Americans live with diabetes, while another 98 million have prediabetes. With so many people affected, it’s an important condition to keep track of.

The American Diabetes Association recommends screening for:
• All adults age 45 and older, regardless of other risk factors.
• Adults of any age who are overweight and have at least one other risk factor, such as a family history of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, lack of exercise, or polycystic ovary syndrome, should be screened for diabetes.

Screening typically involves a simple blood test. Early detection helps identify diabetes or prediabetes when management is easiest. If your test results are normal, repeat testing every three years. If you have prediabetes, yearly testing is recommended. Making lifestyle changes, such as healthy eating and regular exercise, has been proven to make a significant difference in preventing or delaying type 2 diabetes.

If you have questions or want to understand your risk, talk with your care team.

For more than 40 years, countless patients and team members were greeted by Betty Wells, known fondly as Ms. Betty, when they arrived at Ochsner Medical Center – New Orleans. Her cheerful welcome was always the same: “Good morning! Welcome to Ochsner. May I help you?”

It is with sadness that we share Ms. Betty passed away on Friday, Sept. 26. She joined Ochsner in 1980, beginning her career on the environmental services team before finding her true calling as a greeter with the central transport team.

Known for her joyful spirit and kind heart, Ms. Betty embodied our mission to treat people, not just disease. Her genuine warmth and infectious smile comforted and uplifted everyone she met.

“When you smile, the world smiles back at you,” Ms. Betty often said.

Each morning, she arrived at 4:30 to help patients arriving for early surgeries, dedicating herself fully to others. Her famous pin-covered jacket, filled with gifts from grateful patients, was a testament to the many lives she touched.

“If I can help someone along life’s way, then my living is not in vain,” she once said.

We invite you to share your favorite memories or stories of Ms. Betty in the comments below. She will be deeply missed. 💛
