We are proud to recognize three members of our Emergency Department team—Dr. William Freeman, ER Medical Director; Kelli Randazzo, ER Manager; and Leslie Fischer, Clinical Educator—for being among the first healthcare professionals in Louisiana to successfully complete the Obstetric Life Support (OBLS) Course.
This advanced, simulation-based training focuses on the rapid recognition and management of maternal emergencies, including maternal collapse and cardiac arrest. Participants complete intensive online coursework followed by hands-on simulation and assessment exercises featuring realistic emergency scenarios.
At St. James Parish Hospital, we are committed to enhancing our obstetric readiness and ensuring our team is prepared to respond quickly and effectively when obstetric emergencies occur. This achievement reflects our ongoing dedication to patient safety, emergency preparedness, and providing high-quality care for mothers and babies in our community.
Please join us in congratulating Dr. Freeman, Kelli, and Leslie on this outstanding accomplishment!
