The UMC team filled the season with joy, bringing holiday smiles to our patients!

The Cancer Center team and their children brightened hospital rooms with thoughtful gifts, while dietitian Ryan Yates and his wife went the extra mile to deliver presents and food to patients at home.

Our Palliative Medicine crew joined forces with Saints Fans Being Saints and the Spirit of Charity Foundation to surprise families and even made special Christmas Day visits.

Santa made a magical stop at our Burn Center, and the Falsetto Poinsettias shared festive carols with every unit.

At UMC, we love spreading holiday happiness! ❤️🎄❄️

It's been one year since the mass casualty incident on Bourbon Street on New Year's Day. UMC was the receiving hospital for those victims, and we reflect on the tragedy and how our team came together to help all of those in need of care.

On this solemn anniversary, we remember the fourteen lives lost a year ago today. Their memories will never be forgotten, and our thoughts are with their families and loved ones, as well as with the survivors of this attack. May they find peace and healing. We also extend our deepest gratitude to the first responders and our healthcare professionals who admirably stepped up in the face of tragedy to provide life-saving care.
