Glimpses

Celebrating Community Success

2022 was a bright year for Ochsner Health. The community continued to bring together patients and practitioners to benefit important initiatives at events like the Moonlight & Miracles Gala for the Ochsner Cancer Institute, while aspiring healthcare professionals reached new heights at The University of Queensland Ochsner Clinical School’s graduation in November.

Here’s a glimpse into the important events that shaped 2022:

Since 2013, the Moonlight & Miracles Gala has generated funds to benefit Ochsner Cancer Institute patients and programs at comprehensive cancer centers, located throughout New Orleans, Baton Rouge and the Northshore. Marking its 10th year and a return to an in-person celebration, the Moonlight & Miracles Gala was chaired by Mrs. Gayle Benson.
