When illness or injury disrupts daily life, patients are often looking for two things at once: fast access to care and confidence in the quality of treatment they will receive. For families across the Northshore and Metairie areas, Rapid Urgent Care has spent more than 13 years building its reputation around delivering both. With six clinic locations serving Mandeville, Covington, Slidell, Amite, Bogalusa, and Metairie, Rapid Urgent Care was founded to provide convenient access to professional medical care that works around patients’ schedules. Established by local physician Dr. Edward Dease, MD, the practice was designed to bring a hospital-style staffing model into the urgent care setting, combining accessibility with a high standard of medical expertise. That model continues to shape the organization today. Rapid Urgent Care has grown to a team composed of more than thirty physicians and more than seventy nurses, medical assistants, radiologic technologists, and others who operate in an environment designed to value

customer service, teamwork, and excellence every day of the year, including holidays. At the center of the organization’s philosophy is its mission: “Quality Care, FAST!” That commitment influences every part of the patient experience, from streamlined online check-in systems to on-site diagnostics designed to help patients receive answers and treatment plans during a single visit. Rapid Urgent Care most commonly treats non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries, including flu symptoms, bronchitis, asthma, sore throats, urinary tract infections, sprains, fractures, and lacerations. The clinics also provide preventative and occupational health services such as school and sports physicals, DOT physicals, drug screenings, and vaccinations. On-site laboratories and X-ray services help eliminate the need for additional appointments elsewhere, allowing patients to move through care more efficiently. Technology also plays a major role in helping the clinics maintain accessibility and convenience. Patients can reserve a spot online and wait from home or

“The doctor actually listens…”

their vehicle rather than sitting in a crowded waiting room. Text notifications keep patients updated on their place in line, while telemedicine services offer additional flexibility for individuals unable to visit in person. While efficiency remains important, patient comfort and communication continue to be major priorities for the team. Providers focus on listening carefully to concerns, reviewing symptoms thoroughly, and involving patients in decisions about their care. For many patients, that approach has made Rapid Urgent Care a trusted healthcare resource within their communities. Rebecca Goforth Bush described the organization as her family’s first choice for treatment on the Northshore, noting the professionalism and organization she experienced throughout multiple visits. “The front desk staff members have always been friendly and efficient,” she shared. “We were taken back to an examination room with very little wait, and all our questions were answered.” Patients also frequently point to the attentiveness of the staff and providers. “Whenever I’m under the weather, Rapid Urgent Care, Covington is my go-to,” said Wendi Box. “The team is kind,

professional, and attentive. The doctor takes the time to listen and consistently provides great care.” That combination of speed and compassion continues to stand out, even during busy periods. Stacy Preston praised the Mandeville clinic for maintaining a welcoming environment while ensuring patients feel heard and supported. “They’re quick, accommodating, and kind every time I go in,” Stacy said. “The doctor actually listens to my concerns and takes them seriously instead of making me feel rushed.” As healthcare needs continue evolving, Rapid Urgent Care remains focused on bridging the gap between traditional walk-in clinics and emergency rooms by providing

comprehensive, accessible care for non-emergency situations. With expanded diagnostic capabilities, virtual care options, and clinics open 365 days a year, the organization continues working to meet patients where they are — both literally and medically. For families across the Northshore and Metairie regions, that consistency has helped establish Rapid Urgent Care as more than a convenient option. It has become a dependable healthcare resource built around accessibility, communication, and a commitment to quality care delivered quickly.

A BBQ DREAM. B U I LT O N B E L I E F. B AC K E D BY O U R C O M M U N I T Y. BEFORE THE LINES FORMED In Madisonville, some locals still know it as “the old barbershop.” That’s because before the smoke started rolling through Pine Street, before the sold-out weekends and crowds lined outside the door, it was just an old barbershop. A weathered building that had sat closed for years, still holding memories of the place where locals once got their hair cut. But when Brek and Veronica saw it, they saw something else entirely. The worn wooden exterior had character. History. Soul. It looked like the kind of place BBQ belonged in. Brek grew up watching his father bring people together through backyard cookouts, where smoke lingered in the air and food became the center of connection, laughter, and family. That love for BBQ stayed with him. What began as a vision has become one of the Northshore’s most talked-about smokehouses—The Notorious P.I.G. BBQ Shack, now voted St. Tammany’s Best BBQ, Best New Restaurant, and Bronze Best Plate Lunch.

THE TOWN WAS WATCHING With little more than determination and belief, renovations began on the old barbershop while Brek taught himself BBQ through relentless trial and error. Briskets were ruined. Seasonings were adjusted again and again. Overnight cooks became 6

routine. Some nights ended with a few hours of sleep on cots inside the restaurant while Brek and Veronica took turns tending the ﬁre. “The pit never sleeps,” Veronica said. “And during those early days, neither did we.” Meanwhile, renovation costs climbed, inspections dragged on, and the pressure mounted. By the time ﬁnal approval came through, waiting any longer simply was not an option.

BBQ

So they opened the very next day: July 4th. With little advertising and a lot of uncertainty, The Notorious P.I.G. opened its doors for the ﬁrst time. Madisonville had watched the transformation for months, and curiosity had spread across town. That ﬁrst weekend, they sold out.

A L E G A C Y T H AT G O E S

BEYOND BUSINESS Born and raised in Gretna, Jay Clouatre discovered his passion for the HVAC industry at a young age while working to provide for his growing family. After entering the trade in his early twenties, he spent years mastering the field before opening what is now Jay’s Heating and Cooling in 1996. Since then, he has faithfully served families and businesses across Louisiana’s Northshore and Southshore communities with honesty, skill, and dedication. In 2012, Jay and his wife, Jamie,

relocated to the Northshore to continue building both their family life and business. What began as a small HVAC company steadily grew through hard work, word of mouth, and a commitment to treating customers like family. Even today, after nearly three decades in business, Jay remains in the field daily— handling service calls,

installing equipment, and personally ensuring the quality of every job completed. That intentionality has become the foundation of Jay’s Heating and Cooling. Customers are never viewed as transactions, but as relationships. From the initial conversation to the final installation or service call, Jay remains hands-on every step of the way. His customers know that when they call, they are not simply getting a company—they are getting Jay himself, someone deeply invested in the comfort and care of their homes and businesses. The company’s success has also been shaped by an exceptional team that Jay takes great pride in mentoring. He has spent years investing in employees both professionally and personally. That leadership has created a culture of loyalty and longevity, reflected in the company’s remarkably low turnover. Many employees remain with Jay for years— often averaging close to eight years of employment.

While Jay’s dedication to his business is evident, those closest to him would say his greatest priority has always been his family. Jay and Jamie are proud parents of three children— two sons and a daughter—who each reflect the family’s strong work ethic, faith, and passion for life. Their odest son, JJ, attended Archbishop Shaw High School and has always enjoyed playing recreational baseball. Like his father, he developed a deep love for fishing and eventually followed in Jay’s footsteps by pursuing a career in the HVAC field. Their second son, Gareth, attended Mandeville High School before later studying at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Known for his love of soccer and time spent at the Mandeville Skatepark, Gareth is currently building his career with J-Caulk. Their daughter, Isabella, attended Northlake Christian School, where she made history as the school’s first female golfer while also

participating in dance team, clubs, and numerous extracurricular activities. She later attended Southeastern Louisiana University and is now pursuing a career in cardiology while working at North Oaks Health System.

As their family continued to grow, so did the joy surrounding it. Between their two sons and their wives, Jay and Jamie became grandparents to five grandchildren—a role they wholeheartedly embrace. Their love for their grandchildren is unmistakable, and they cherish every opportunity to create memories together. While they worked tirelessly to build a successful business, their greatest accomplishment has always been

building a close-knit faily rooted in love and togetherness. Faith remains at the center of that foundation. Jay and Jamie enjoy attending church together whenever possible, regularly spending time at Cultivation Church in Covington, Louisiana, as well as Church of the King. With their children attending different churches, they intentionally split their time between services to support each of them and continue growing together in faith as a family. When people are asked to describe Jay, one quality that is consistently mentioned is his unwavering support for his wife, Jamie. Over a decade ago, Jamie was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a battle that would deeply impact their family. During that difficult season, Jay placed business growth on hold and remained faithfully by her side through every appointment, treatment, and challenge. Thanks to the employees he had spent years mentoring and investing in, the business continued operating successfully while he focused on caring for his wife and family. That same steadfast support continues today as Jay encourages Jamie in each of the passions and callings she pursues. Whether supporting The Well Seasoned Table, where Jamie mentors women through cooking and meaningful connection across generations, serving alongside her involvement with Northshore Enduring Hope, a resource center supporting foster children and families in need, helping grow Trinity Spice Company—the family spice

company they launched together during the COVID era—or cheering her on in her salon career in Mandeville, J + Co Salon. Jay remains her greatest encourager. Together, Jay and Jamie have built far more than a business. Through faith, perseverance, mentorship, service, and an unwavering commitment to family, they have built a legacy—one rooted not only in success, but in genuinely caring for the people God has placed in their lives.

VOTED BEST POOLS & SPAS Owner and founder Mike Stanton Sr. was born and raised in New Orleans. He graduated from Loyola University in 1994 and went into the family business, residential home building. As a residential builder, he built homes around the Greater New Orleans Area ranging in price from $300,000 to over a million. He moved to Mandeville in 1997 where he formed Oasis Pools and Spas, L.L.C.

We at Oasis Pools and Spas are proud to bring this level of construction experience to the pool construction industry. We are now a State Licensed Commercial Pool Builder. We are proud to finally bring our level of management and attention to detail to the commercial industry.

While some pool builders pride themselves in building the most pools per year, Oasis Pools and Spas prides itself in being a smaller, custom builder with unmatched personalized service. All work is supervised by owner Mike Sr. or one of his two sons throughout the entire construction process. So, from sale to swimming you have a Stanton overseeing the work. With the combined experience in both home & pool construction you can be assured that you are hiring a company with vast knowledge in the construction industry.

We are committed to creating an environment where people can grow in their relationship with Jesus. Because Jesus loves all people, we strive to love everyone unconditionally.
