LCMC Health and Tulane University announced that the organizations have finalized their partnership, following approval from the Louisiana Department of Justice. Tulane Medical Center, Lakeview Regional Medical Center, and Tulane Lakeside Hospital will join LCMC Health.
The partnership is part of Tulane University’s commitment of $1 billion to the Louisiana economy. This involves the commercialization of research and entrepreneurship and includes expanded offerings at the Charity Hospital and Tulane Medical Center buildings. Together these facilities will house a new nursing program, clinical research programs, educational space for students, an exponential increase in space dedicated to research, as well as graduate programs in public health, social work, and medicine. All told, these efforts will create an estimated 2,300 jobs in New Orleans and across Louisiana.
Established in 2009, LCMC Health is a Louisiana-based, not-for-profit hospital system serving the Gulf Coast region.
