“This is just one of my all-time favorite events,” Kelly’s wife Paqui Kelly said.
“You can bring people together and you can really give patients the confidence to say, if we can win on the field, we can win on our journey to fight disease,” Dr. Katie O’Neal, OLOL’s chief medical officer, said,
Our Lady of the Lake and LSU have partnered on several projects over the years, including an $85 million deal in 2022 with the aim to bolster LSU’s sports medicine.
