Friends and team members gathered on Tuesday, February 24, 2026 to formally recognize and congratulate Mary Broussard, RN, recipient of the Wilbur Allain Memorial Stellar Award.

Ms. Mary Broussard truly embodies the spirit of a “Nurse’s Nurse.” As Nurse Educator at IMC, she demonstrates an unmatched commitment to educating, empowering, and uplifting every nurse she encounters. Whether working with a brand-new graduate or a seasoned nurse with decades of experience, Ms. Mary meets them exactly where they are offering thoughtful guidance, practical education, and unwavering support.

She has an incredible ability to anticipate the needs of nurses, ensuring they are equipped with the knowledge and confidence necessary to provide exceptional care to our community. As a caregiver herself, she has built meaningful, lasting relationships with patients and families—so much so that many ask for her by name. Her impact reaches far beyond education; it touches the heart of our community.

Any project at IMC is strengthened by Ms. Mary’s involvement. She is the very definition of a “Yes, I can” leader—approaching every initiative with positivity, dedication, and a genuine desire to see it succeed. Her signature phrase, “How can I help?” reflects her servant leadership and unwavering commitment to teamwork. She willingly volunteers, supports clinical leaders, strengthens policies and processes, and ensures every detail is handled with excellence.

Ms. Mary is the definition of a model IMC employee and a shining example of a true leader. Nursing at IMC is better because of her, and she is more than deserving of recognition as a STELLAR award recipient.

This award is dedicated to our clinical personnel who consistently demonstrate excellence in patient care, embodying the highest standards of professionalism, compassion, and expertise. Named after Wilbur Allain, a revered figure in our organization who epitomized dedication to clinical excellence, this award aims to recognize and celebrate the outstanding efforts of our clinical staff and direct caregivers.

PET CT at the North Campus

Nov 13, 2023

Iberia Medical Center recently announced that it is now offering Positron Emission Tomography – Computed Tomography (PET/CT) services at the North Campus.

PET/CT is a combination of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and X-Ray Computed Tomography (CT). Together, this diagnostic technology provides physicians with a series of images that can detect conditions that do not show up on conventional scans. The procedure

is painless and varies in duration, depending on the part of the body that is being scanned.

PET uses small amounts of radiotracers, a special camera and a computer to evaluate organ and tissue functions. By identifying changes that are evident on the scans, PET may detect the early onset of disease, such as cancer, before other imaging tests can, which helps the oncology team determine the best course of treatment.

“With the growth of our cancer services and our continued commitment to our patients, we are extremely excited to offer the convenience of PET/CT scans right here at our North Campus. This new state-of-the-art early detection technology is great news for referring physicians and patients, as the new digital scanner has ultra-high resolution, leading to more accurate diagnoses and disease staging.” said Dionne Viator, CEO, Iberia Medical Center.

PET/CT is the latest advancement in the growing cancer service line at Iberia Medical Center. The Cancer Center of Acadiana and the Infusion Center are both located at the Main Campus. The North Campus is now home to PET/CT and the Women’s Diagnostic Center, providing multiple women’s services including the area’s only 3D mammography system and breast biopsies with and without contrast.
