Dr. Nicholas “Nick” Rauber has worked as a dentist in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for over a decade. The founder of Swollfest, Nick Rauber, DDS, supports children’s charities such as Our Lady of the Lake Children's Hospital (OLOLCH). On a mission to provide the best dedicated pediatric care for the children of Louisiana, OLOLCH is building a freestanding hospital dedicated to children. In November of 2017, the hospital’s management and staff celebrated the completion of the freestanding hospital’s steel structure. The milestone was commemorated with the hoisting and placement of special beams that bore the individual signatures of stakeholders including donors and team members. The beams were also signed virtually online by thousands of others who supported the construction. Overall, 2,500 tons of steel were used in the construction, together with 600 tons of rebar, 14,000 cubic yards of concrete, 1,000 support piles, and 284 miles of electrical wire. The project encompasses over 450,000 square feet, with 80 percent dedicated as hospital space and about 20 percent as office space. Speaking at the event, OLOLCH chief medical officer Shaun Kemmerly praised the efforts of all people involved in the construction, hailing the completion of the steel structure as a show of their dedication to the health of Louisiana’s children. Finishing work is ongoing.

Dr. Nick Rauber founded the Swollfest fishing rodeo, a charity event benefiting the American Diabetes Association and other nonprofits. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) provides a number of resources to individuals living with diabetes, including tips on how to maintain healthy eating habits while spending the night out at a restaurant. To begin, individuals should have a firm understanding of when they will be dining, particularly if they need to take an insulin shot or diabetes medication. People with diabetes should discuss insulin doses and eating times with a trusted medical professional. Ordering from a restaurant is another critical process for individuals living with diabetes. Though dietary habits and goals can differ considerably from one person to the next, it is important to patronize restaurants that offer an array of choices when it comes to limiting salt intake, increasing fiber, and other nutrition priorities. Those with diabetes should not hesitate to make certain requests, if possible, such as declining any extra butter or salt during the preparation process. To learn more, visit www.diabetes.org. |
