Remembering Dr. Pedro Cazabon

On January 1, 2023, Pedro Cazabon, MD, a dedicated practitioner at Ochsner Health who worked to expand the reach of community health initiatives, passed away following a heart attack. He was 57 years old.

Dr. Cazabon received his MD from Louisiana State University in Shreveport and completed an internship and residency at Ochsner Health, where he became a member of the staff in 1995. He quickly took on a greater role, becoming Associate Medical Director for Primary Care (Southshore region) and the System Service Line Leader for the department. He twice served on the Board of Directors of Ochsner Health.

Dr. Cazabon worked to expand Ochsner’s Primary Care Group Practice and played a key role in designing and developing the Ochsner Center for Primary Care and Wellness. He also took a leading role in several community health initiatives including vaccination efforts and widespread testing, and both became necessary during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dr. Cazabon leaves behind a remarkable legacy, both at Ochsner and in every other circle in which he traveled—most of all, his family. He is survived by his wife of nearly 30 years, Tiffany; his three children, Jack, Julia and George; by his mother Luisa and siblings Patricia and Juan and their children, as well as by his dog, Foster.
