Meet the Heart Behind NextGen
My name is Lucy Jackson, and I was born and raised in Hammond, Louisiana. I’m a wife, a mother, and the proud founder of NextGen Medical Testing, LLC. This business is more than a service—it’s a reflection of my heart, my family, and the values I hold close.
I started NextGen because I wanted to help others in my community feel safe, supported, and respected. Whether it’s drug testing for schools, DNA panels for families, or wellness insights for athletes, my goal is to create a trusted space—one that protects our youth, strengthens our workplaces, and uplifts the people who make Louisiana home.
My husband works long hours in the refineries, often traveling far from home to provide for our family. His sacrifice is part of the reason I work so hard—to one day bring him home for good. I want our daughter to grow up seeing what it means to work for what you believe in, to chase your dreams even when the outcome isn’t clear. That’s faith. That’s grit. That’s grace.
At NextGen, we believe in building character, showing kindness, and leading with integrity. We know no one is perfect—but we strive to honor God in all we do. Every test we offer, every flyer we design, every handshake we give is rooted in love, purpose, and a deep commitment to our community.
This isn’t just a business. It’s a calling. And I’m grateful every day to be the heart behind it.
