Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System Launches The Doctor Will Hear You Now Podcast

June 18, 2023

Baton Rouge, LA - Healing you means hearing you. As one of the largest healthcare providers in the Gulf South, Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System has committed to listening and hearing our patients. With more than 15,000 listens in its premier season, The Doctor Will Hear You Now brings together some of the best minds from across our health system to break down common barriers and misconceptions about healthcare and preventive services.

“Healthcare can be complicated, and we would like to help. By reaching out to consumers through the podcast medium we hope to break down some of the common barriers that prevent people from seeking appropriate care, in a way that is relatable and easy to understand,” said Chief Marketing Officer, Janice Lamy.

Episode topics range from changing hormones, to the first-hand account of a 36-year-old stroke survivor, to something as fundamental and important as better communication with your doctor. As the healthcare system that prides itself on listening, the podcast explores common questions patients may have but may be too scared to ask, provides a look into the daily life of your care team and offers first-hand advice from clinicians about how to approach your healthcare journey.

“That’s the whole point of this podcast, to listen,” said Karroll Payne, MD, OB-GYN and featured guest. “If you stop and listen, most patients inherently know what’s going on with them and they want to tell you but often feel like they don’t have a chance to speak.”

New episodes are released every other Thursday. Find out more and subscribe to The Doctor Will Hear You Now podcast wherever you get your podcasts or find out more at thedoctorwillhearyounow.com. Featured guests and hosts share information on the art of listening, ways to take control of your healthcare journey or any number of topics discussed in the first season of The Doctor Will Hear You Now.
