SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) - It has been a tough week for many across the ArkLaTex, from residents to hospitals.
“I don’t think we could have anticipated what kind of week this was going to be,” Chris Mangin, CEO of Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport - St. Mary Medical Center, said. “It’s been a long week. It’s been good from the standpoint of having heat, water, but we’ve had to do it with a little more ingenuity than we thought we would have.”
