Learning More About Ochsner's Milk Bank of Louisiana & A Local Documentary's Hollywood Award!

Send us Fan MailThis week we have a couple of great Local interviews! Ochsner Children's Hospital has been one of our anchoring sponsors for years now and for our fifth season, We have created a BRAND NEW SEGMENT called         "A Mother's Giving: & the Milk Bank of Louisiana with Dr. Harley Ginsberg."Dr. Ginsberg is board certified in both pediatrics and neonatal-perinatal medicine and has been on staff at Ochsner since 1987. He served as both the Section Head of neonatal medicine at Ochsner and the Medical Director of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Ochsner Baptist Medical Center from 1989 until 2021. Dr. Ginsberg managed the team at Ochsner that took care of babies during Hurricane Katrina. Currently he is Medical Director of the NICU at Ochsner Kenner Medical Center. Dr. Ginsberg is the Founder and Medical Director of Mothers Milk Bank of Louisiana at Ochsner Baptist and is a member of the Standards Committee for the Human Milk Banking Association of North America. He has written chapters for medical textbooks on neonatology and has published scientific medical in articles in the New England Journal of Medicine, Pediatrics, Journal of Perinatology and Clinics in Perinatology. Fully accredited by the Human Milk Banking Association of North America, Mothers’ Milk Bank of Louisiana at Ochsner Baptist was Louisiana’s first human milk bank and the 24th nonprofit milk bank in the United States. Preterm infants are at risk for a condition called necrotizing enterocolitis, which results in inflamed intestines, bacterial infection and damage to the colon and intestines. Without proper care, the infant may die.Pasteurized donor human milk helps offset these potential dangers. Unfortunately, some mothers of preterm infants cannot produce their own milk. That’s where Mothers’ Milk Bank of Louisiana steps in.As of August 2020, Louisiana provides Medicaid coverage for using pasteurized donor human milk in a hospital. In 2022, Louisiana legislators approved inpatient and outpatient coverage for pasteurized donor human milk. Listen as Dr. Ginsberg and I dive into the Milk bank of Louisiana and hear the powerful impacts it has on our community and state! Go to https://www.ochsner.org/services/mothers-milk-bank-at-ochsner-baptist to learn more or to make a donation today!______________________________________________________________________________________________Then later we welcome back DIRTY DOGS! The local documentary making big waves in our city yall. Not only did the documentary chronicle the heated monopoly on New Orleans' food cart licenses for the French Quarter. What WAS a half century monopoly was essentially ended by a group of passionate film makers that felt convicted to MAKE THINGS RIGHT.  I am so excited to welcome restauranteur and host Brad Bohannan and Cinematographer, Adrian Sosebee to talk about their HOLLYWOOD AWARD they just received in  Beverly Hills! Brad also talks to us about his latest venture with his inspirational wife, Jefferson Parrish Council Person, Arita Bohannan. Together and with a village behind them, they work to bring inclusive and autistic friendly playgrounds to neighborhoods and communities that really need it!
