• LaRHIX Provides DynaMed
  LSUHSC-S faculty, staff, and students now have access to DynaMed, a point-of-care database that provides clinically organized summaries of almost 3000 topics. This access was made possible through funding from the Louisiana Rural Health Information Exchange (LaRHIX), a network formed by the Louisiana Rural Hospital Coalition and LSUHSC-S to support Louisiana’s health information technology initiatives in rural areas. LSUHSC-S hosts and technically supports many aspects of the LaRHIX network and also serves as the tertiary care site for LaRHIX’s rural hospitals.
  LaRHIX Executive Director Donald E. Hines, M.D., collaborated with the LSUHSC-S Medical Library to provide access to DynaMed for LSUHSC-S, E.A. Conway Medical Center in Monroe, and Huey P. Long Hospital in Pineville, as well as the forty-one LaRHIX member hospitals. Access will also be available for LSUHSC-S alumni soon.

• Art in the Library
  The Medical Library is pleased to showcase the photographic art of Ron E. Mills, a Shreveport artist with a perspective uniquely his own. His photographs of nature, animals, architecture, and people reveal the individual beauty and personality of each subject. Inspired by God’s creativity, Ron is eager to share his work with as many people as possible. Sharing this excitement is what keeps him searching for ordinary things to present in an un-ordinary way. Ron has been producing these unique photographs for the past three years and his work hangs in private collections and galleries throughout the South and the Northeast. Ron’s show, consisting of 35 distinctive images, will be on display through September 24th. More of his work can be seen on his website www.oddityvisuals.com.
