NEW ORLEANS — Edwa Jackson was amazed at how many people from throughout the country recently gathered with her in New Orleans.
Jackson, a practical nursing student at South Central Louisiana Technical College, Reserve Campus, recently attended the New Cardiovascular Horizons Conference at the Roosevelt New Orleans.
Conference workshops focused on the latest research studies in cardiovascular medicine.
Physicians, nurses, cath lab and River Region students heard and saw the latest cardiovascular techniques and procedures.

“It was exciting to see the new advances and techniques that are happening today,” she said.
