Louisiana Breast Specialists provide comprehensive care, beginning with a thorough history and a complete breast exam, as well as diagnostic breast ultrasounds, stereotactic breast biopsies, sonogram-guided breast biopsies, and open surgical biopsies. We also offer high-risk assessment and monitoring for women with a family history of breast cancer or other factors which may increase the risk of breast cancer. Patient education, including clear explanations of the disease process and follow-up, are always important elements in our treatment plan. We specialize in breast-conserving cancer surgery, sentinel lymph node biopsy, skin-sparing mastectomies, and oncoplastic surgical techniques. We are also credentialed to place partial breast radiation catheters, including the Mammosite®. Through consultation and cooperation with other professionals in diverse areas of expertise, we are actively involved in improving the standard of care for breast cancer patients in Louisiana. This includes cooperative care with Medical Oncologists, Radiation Oncologists, and Reconstructive Surgeons. We also participate in the Woman’s Hospital Breast Cancer Multi-disciplinary treatment conference and Patient Navigator programs.
The Louisiana Association of Substance Abuse Counselors and Trainers (LASACT) was incorporated in 1975 with two main objectives: • To further the treatment of individuals and family members who suffer from alcoholism and other drug addictions. • To represent the interests of the membership. As LASACT has evolved through time, its focus has expanded. No longer in the business of providing certifications to practice, LASACT now concentrates its efforts in other areas, including the following: • Continuing to advocate for the advancement of the professions of Substance Abuse Counseling, Substance Abuse Prevention, and Compulsive Gambling Counseling • Providing high quality, current education and training for Addiction Professionals, including an annual Conference that is designed to present the most current information in the field of Addiction Counseling. • Test preparation workshops, other workshops of interest to counselors, such as DSM 5 and Motivational Interviewing, and home study courses are provided throughout the year. • Providing internationally recognized testing standards for the credentialing of Substance Abuse Counselors, Preventionists, and Compulsive Gambling Counselors; • Establishing in April, 2006, of an Addiction Counselor Training Program through its Educational Institute to provide substance abuse specific training to persons entering the addiction counseling field.
