LCMC Health and Tulane University announced intentions to partner to increase healthcare access and provide the highest quality care, right here in New Orleans. The partnership builds on the nonprofit organizations’ long history of collaborating to improve the health of patients and communities in New Orleans and across Louisiana. In addition to extraordinary healthcare, this exciting partnership will also bring new and expanded job opportunities to our community – doing more for our patients and our community together than would be possible as separate organizations. Get ready for the highest quality healthcare in New Orleans from a robust local system committed to providing care that’s as accessible as it is exceptional.
Here's what Congressman Troy Carter, Sr. has to say:
NEW ORLEANS, LA – Congressman Troy A. Carter Sr. celebrated LCMC Health and Tulane University’s new formal collaboration to provide the best of community healthcare and academic medicine right here in Louisiana’s Second Congressional District. Their partnership places three Tulane hospitals, including Tulane Medical Center (TMC), back into the hands of local nonprofits.
Under this new arrangement, TMC will be repurposed as the home base of a new nursing program, clinical trials, research space and more. The new partnership is expected to yield substantial additional job and economic opportunities for the community, and will enable the development of new academic, medical and research facilities. This move builds upon Tulane’s already transformational investment in the downtown region of New Orleans.
“This is a pivotal moment not just for Tulane University and LCMC Health, but also for the wider community’s health and wellness,” said Congressman Carter. “This extraordinary partnership will allow these powerhouse institutions to combine their collective strengths to not only reach more patients, but also to enhance patient care to the highest level. The long-term potential of this partnership’s impact on the clinical, economic, and educational innovation is enormous, and I am thrilled to celebrate this partnership that will help improve quality of life across the entire region.”
