What Youll Be Doing

Here, weekends can start with fishing at Black Bayou Lake National Wildlife Refuge and end with live blues under the stars at a neighborhood festival. Just a short drive away, youll find scenic byways winding through cypress groves, regional museums that tell stories generations deep, and local spots serving up some of the best gumbo and crawfish etouffee youve ever tasted.

This regions connection to the Delta runs more than geographic it runs through the food, the music, the people, and the deep sense of community. It's a place where traditions matter, neighbors look out for each other, and the slower pace gives you space to breathe, reflect, and really show up for your patients and for yourself.

What Were Looking For
