Jacquelyn Marie Bowers, MD

I began my professional career in Physical Therapy and practiced for 4 years, enjoying the challenges of patient physical rehabilitation. It was this opportunity that spurred me forward into a more direct role in patient care as a physician. I enjoyed the fast pace and unique cases that Trauma provided, and this led me to my home in the Emergency Department. The ever changing clinical challenges along with never knowing what will present next add to the love I have for my career. The administrative opportunities afford a perfect blend to my work There is always another opportunity to become involved with interdepartmental committees and truly make an impact for our patients and our teams. The growth of our hospitals is inspiring and encourages me to work to purport our Emergency Departments and the OLSU System. Having a real impact on our patient communities is the best reward of all.I am originally from Pineville, LA and I am married and have a 7 year old son. My hobbies include spending time with my family, scuba diving, and horseback riding.
