Yesterday, 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.”
