GME Update - 12.20.12
Last week, the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals released a memorandum of understanding announcing that they intend to sign lease agreements for the new University Medical Center in New Orleans by Children’s Hospital Board; UMC in Lafayette by Lafayette General; and Chabert in Houma by Ochsner. While this news is encouraging, there is still much work that must be completed.
I wanted to let you know that the LSMS is closely monitoring and evaluating the many issues surrounding the future of the LSU hospital system; and that we will share new developments with you as they arise. In an effort to continue to keep an open dialog with LSU officials and our members, you are encouraged to contact me or the LSMS directly at
