Woman’s Hospital’s Life Among Women Blog Named One of Nation’s Best by Healthline  Healthline.com has named Woman’s Hospital’s Life Among Women blog as one of the best wom- en’s health blogs in the country. Selected based on quality of content, frequency of posts, and connection to the community, the Woman’s blog also prides itself on being “inspiring, educating, and empowering to women, encouraging them to lead their best lives.” “It is an honor to be recognized as one of only fourteen blogs from across the country,” said Angela Hammett, Woman’s Community educa- tion manager and frequent blog author. “It’s our hope that the blog holds the potential to lead women in our community to better overall health and happiness.” Originally, Life Among Women began as a way to bring the hospital’s mission of improving the health of women and infants to the digital masses. Since then, the blog has continued to grow and evolve by following trends in key demographics while continuing to provide important information on topics such as pregnancy and parenthood, liv- ing with cancer, and overall health and wellness. In recent years, entries have evolved to include a collection of articles and experiences from local women, doctors, healthcare professionals, and healthy living experts willing to share their sto- ries in hopes of helping others improve their lives. 2019 Class of Medical Physics ProgramResidency Graduates Announced A regional consortium of cancer care organiza- tions has announced its 2019 medical physics res- idency training program graduates, which include John Doiron, Fei Duan, Nicholas Marsh, and Brit- tany Moore. In order to address a nationwide shortage of medical physicists, Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center in Baton Rouge established a medical physics residency training consortium in 2009.
