t Terrebonne General Medical Center (TGMC), we know that Mardi Gras is a part of the unique culture of our area. It’s a wonderful time for fun and families.

Here are a few tips to make your Mardi Gras a safe and happy celebration.

Remember to wear sunscreen, even on days that seem overcast.

Watch out for broken glass. Fingers can get cut while reaching for throws on the ground.

ALWAYS choose a designated driver BEFORE the celebration starts.
