Consumers have the right to choose their personal healthcare provider! Take your time, just like you’ve done in the past when you bought your last vehicle, decided where to bank, which new piece of furniture you purchased or where you decide to send your children to school. The same applies to where you need to go should your physician determine that you need a screening or diagnostic test. Consumers have the right to choose! In the New Orleans area, we hope that choice is Diagnostic Imaging Services. For over 35 years, DIS has provided high qualtiy patient care within a comfortable, friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

They know their physician will get their test results usually in one business day. Patients come with piece of mind, understanding that nearly every area insurance plan is accepted. Every mammogram and breast MRI is performed at DIS by a FEMALE registered technician.

“Broken Levees, Broken Lives”…the Post-Katrina Focus on Health

Three years after Hurricane Katrina, the people of New Orleans are still waiting…

Even though flooding only occurred in the basement, which was cleaned up and ready to reopen in October of 2005, the famous Charity Hospital in New Orleans remains closed in 2008 as the Louisiana State University (LSU) systems office and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) squabble over plans to build a newer, prettier hospital—a project which would take years and millions of dollars to complete while Charity stands empty.

Meanwhile, the people of NOLA rely heavily on free health clinics, or wait in long lines to be seen at smaller remaining hospitals while their health deteriorates. Many Americans are unaware that Charity is the second-largest hospital in the nation, and had been serving as the primary trauma center for all of southern Louisiana. They also may be unaware, as Dr. James Moises highlights in the video, that there is a national trend to close public hospitals like Charity, marking the end of our public health safety net as we know it.
