Ochsner Health System is a not-for-profit health system based in the New Orleans metropolitan area of southeast Louisiana, United States.[5] As of 2021[update] it is the largest non-profit, academic healthcare system operating in Louisiana, with 40 medical facilities across the state.[1] [6] [7] [8] Its flagship hospital, Ochsner Medical Center, has been ranked the number one hospital in Louisiana for the past decade. [9] [10] [11] It also has other clinics and medical centers in Greater New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Monroe, Lafayette, and other locations across Louisiana and Mississippi.[12]
History
Ochsner was founded by Dr. Alton Ochsner.[13]
Adeptus Health reached an agreement with the Ochsner Health System to build and operate emergency rooms in Louisiana under the Ochsner name in September 2016.[14]
During the COVID-19 pandemic in Louisiana, the Ochsner Health System was strained by surges in patient volume.[6] In part, efforts to provide healthcare were complicated by resistance to vaccination among healthcare workers, and the effects of Hurricane Ida.[15] [16] [17] [18] In 2021 Oschner stated that employees with spouses who did not take the COVID-19 vaccine will pay more for health insurance.[7]
Ochsner reported a drop of $74M in operating income in 2021, attributed to the effects of Hurricane Ida and the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]
In June of 2021, a significant Gulf Coast expansion was announced.[8] Ochsner took over Rush Health System in Mississippi and Alabama.
In 2021, Walmart Health hired a senior Ochsner executive to lead its care organization.[19]
