Dr. Terry Delord, an internal medicine specialist with South Louisiana Medical Associates (SLMA) and Ochsner Health’s Leonard J. Chabert Medical Center, was recognized with the 2020 Physician Summit Award by Louisiana Healthcare Connections (LHC).
“Dr. Delord consistently provides our patients with exemplary care, and his commitment to quality is demonstrated daily,” said Tim Allen, CEO of Ochsner Bayou Region (Chabert and Ochsner St. Anne). “He shares our commitment of improving healthcare in our community, and I am proud that he is recognized with this award.”
Delord is the only medical provider in the state to receive the 2020 award, which is given annually to the primary care provider who is committed to high-quality accessible care and “achieves the highest scores in key Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) quality measures across the health plan’s provider network,” according to LHC.
