In February 2022, LCMC Health proudly announced a committed investment
of $75 million to Louisiana State University (LSU) for cancer research
and treatment for patients and revolutionary STEM education programs for
future healthcare professionals. The investment helps transform healthcare
in the region by offering enhanced care and access for cancer patients,
as well as additional resources and training for students.
This investment builds on a longstanding partnership between LSU and LCMC
Health and echoes our dedication to serving the unique needs of communities
and families across New Orleans, the Gulf South, and beyond. As LSU’s
lead clinical partner in the vision for ascending the LSU Health New Orleans-LCMC
Health Cancer Center to an NCI-Designated Cancer Center, LCMC Health has
dedicated:
An initial $50 million commitment to develop world-class, multidisciplinary
cancer care and clinical research programs driven toward earning NCI designation
for Louisiana.
$10 million to develop a scholarship fund focused on addressing nursing
and allied health workforce needs in Louisiana.
$10 million toward the Our Lady of the Lake Interdisciplinary Science Building,
which will create a world-class waypoint for scientific inquiry, discovery,
and collaboration.
$5 million to establish a cancer-focused research fund directed by the
LSU president.
