WWL AM Radio Host & former Jefferson Parish Sheriff

I have both personal and professional experience with East Jefferson General Hospital, and I could not be more supportive of the proposed partnership between its parent LCMC Health and Tulane University. My mother received care at EJ for stage four lung cancer more than seven years ago. She was given six months to live. The top-notch care she received from EJ’s doctors and nurses turned around her quality of life, and she is still alive today. This partnership will transform EJ into an academic medical center that will attract the best and the brightest healthcare professionals to our area so we can continue providing excellent care. The Tulane and LCMC Health partnership brings something to the table that didn’t exist before. The partnership will broaden and deepen the level of service and delivery of care and give the community more options. This partnership’s proposed investments in downtown are masterful. Investing in our healthcare corridor will benefit our entire region in a tremendous way. It is a difference-maker for us here in the city of New Orleans
