On this episode of Beyond Extraordinary, Dr. Candace Robinson, Chief Medical Officer at Touro, sits down with Dr. Takeisha Davis, President and CEO of New Orleans East Hospital. Together, they explore the critical role of health literacy in improving patient outcomes and advancing health equity across the Greater New Orleans community. From her beginnings in public health to her leadership at LCMC Health, Dr. Davis shares how understanding, communication, and empowerment can transform the way patients experience care. They discuss the barriers that keep communities from fully accessing their health potential, the programs bridging those gaps, and why true healing starts when patients and providers speak the same language.
