Ochsner Health System

In 1939, Dr. Alton Ochsner discovered the link between tobacco and lung cancer. He continued his legacy in 1942 when, along with four Tulane University School of Medicine physicians, established the first multi-specialty group practice in the South, Ochsner Clinic. In 1944, Ochsner Foundation Hospital was founded.Ochsner’s close collaboration between its clinicians and scientists brings medical discoveries from the laboratory to the bedside. Currently one of the largest, not-for-profit, fully integrated health care systems in the Gulf South, Ochsner has over 6,000 employees and nearly 600 physicians in over 70 medical specialties and sub-specialties, and over a million patient visits annually
