Bill > SR45

This resolution commends Dr. Jeffrey Carter and the LSU Health New Orleans burn team for their groundbreaking work in burn and blast injury care. The team recently received a $9.7 million grant from the Department of Defense to develop innovative treatment protocols for both military and civilian trauma victims. Their work focuses on addressing critical treatment delays by developing practical tools and training for first responders that can help prevent serious complications like amputations. The team has prioritized care for active-duty military personnel, including providing training to battlefield medical professionals in Ukraine, and has pioneered advanced technologies like a "spray-on skin" therapy that accelerates wound healing and helps restore natural pigmentation. By advancing medical techniques and improving trauma care, the LSU Health burn team not only elevates Louisiana's reputation in medical innovation but also contributes significantly to national emergency response capabilities and medical readiness. The resolution specifically recognizes their humanitarian efforts, medical excellence, and commitment to protecting and treating those who risk their lives in service.
