Lakeview Hospital

Congratulations to our 2nd Quarter DAISY Award recipient, Danielle Monchgesang!

Danielle embodies the very heart of nursing through her compassion, kindness, and extraordinary dedication to her patients.

One patient, who is also a former RN, shared that Danielle cared not only for her physical needs, but for her mind, body, and spirit. Far from home and without family nearby, Danielle helped her connect with loved ones across the country so she could receive the support she needed during a difficult time.

"Danielle is kind, sincere, and truly understands what it takes to care for a patient—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well."

This recognition is especially meaningful because Danielle has made Lakeview Hospital history as the first nurse to receive the DAISY Award twice since our program began, making her our very first two-time DAISY Award winner. 🌟 She was also recently honored with a Multiple Nomination Pin, recognizing the many patients, families, and colleagues who have taken the time to celebrate her compassionate care over the years.

Danielle, thank you for the comfort, hope, and healing you bring to every patient you serve. Your impact reaches far beyond the bedside, and we are incredibly proud to have you on our team.

Congratulations on this well-deserved honor!

Did you know, watermelon is 92% water – a refreshing way to beat the summer heat. Slice up this delicious treat on June 21—National Watermelon Day.

Today, we celebrate the dads, grandfathers, stepdads, and father figures who inspire us with their strength, love, and dedication.

From caring for their families to caring for our community, fathers play an important role both at home and here at Lakeview Hospital. Thank you for all the ways you show up, support others, and make a difference every day.

Happy Father's Day from all of us at Lakeview Hospital! 💙

Checking in on your mental health is just as important as checking your blood pressure. During Men’s Health Month, remind the men in your life that reaching out for support is a sign of strength.

June is Men’s Health Month — a reminder that strong families start with healthy men. Schedule your annual checkup, stay active, and talk openly with your provider about any concerns. Lakeview Hospital and the Lakeview Physicians Group are here to support your health at every age.

We wrapped up Patient Care Technician Week with a full breakfast and plenty of appreciation for the incredible team that cares for our patients every day. 💙 Thank you to our PCTs for the difference you make at Lakeview Hospital each and every day.

Celebrating our incredible Patient Care Techs all week long! 💙

From loaded teas and donuts to burrito bowls, a spa day filled with relaxation, self-care and wellness activities, ice cream treats, and tomorrow's full breakfast spread, this week has been all about showing our appreciation for the amazing people who care for our patients every day.

Patient Care Techs are often the first smile a patient sees and the helping hands that make a difference during some of life's most important moments. Their compassion, dedication, and teamwork are essential to delivering exceptional care.

Thank you to our Patient Care Techs for everything you do. We appreciate you this week and every week!

Congratulations to Kelo Landry, Director of Patient Safety and Quality, for being recognized on Becker's list of 132 Patient Safety Experts to Know!

Under her leadership, Lakeview earned its first Primary Stroke Center certification and achieved Level II Trauma Center designation—milestones that expanded the advanced care available to our Northshore community. Today, Kelo continues to lead quality and patient safety initiatives, oversee regulatory readiness, guide performance improvement efforts, and manage the hospital’s risk program.

A Team STEPPS Master Trainer with expertise in infection control, epidemiology, inpatient safety, healthcare quality, and Just Culture, Kelo is a respected leader whose work has improved the lives of countless patients and caregivers. In 2025, she was also honored with the Healthcare Heroes Award from New Orleans CityBusiness for her contributions to patient safety and quality care.

We are incredibly proud of this well-deserved national recognition and grateful for Kelo’s leadership, dedication, and lasting impact on Lakeview Hospital and the patients we take care of.

And her compassion extends beyond the hospital walls. Kelo has a special place in her heart for animals, and this photo captures her rescuing a turtle she found wandering in the Lakeview Hospital parking lot—a small act that perfectly reflects the kindness and care she brings to everything she does.
