Ochsner Through the Years
1941
Establishing the Ochsner Clinic
Local medical school professors Drs. Alton Ochsner, Edgar Burns, Guy A. Caldwell, Francis E. LeJeune, and Curtis Tyrone each contributed their own money to open the first private group practice clinic in New Orleans, similar to the models of the Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic.
1952
Ground Breaks on New Hospital
In 1952, construction began on the new Ochsner Foundation Hospital.
1970
Ochsner Performs First Heart Transplant in Region
Dr. John Ochsner performed the first heart transplant in the Gulf South region.
1977
Ochsner’s Graduate Medical Education Programs Develop Affiliations
Leonard J. Chabert Hospital opened in Houma, Louisiana, as part of Louisiana’s charity hospital system. Under Dr. Frank Riddick’s leadership, Ochsner’s graduate medical education programs developed a strong affiliation with Chabert. This facility gave the residents learning opportunities to care for patients within the charity system.
With guidance and oversight from the Ochsner Clinic, South Louisiana Medical Associates was developed as a group practice that contracted with the State of Louisiana to provide senior staff supervision of hospital activities, patient care and medical education.
1999-2001
Ochsner Clinic and Alton Ochsner Medical Foundation Unify
Dr. Frank A. Riddick, CEO of the Alton Ochsner Medical Foundation, and Dr. Patrick Quinlan, CEO of Ochsner Clinic, dedicated two years of tireless work to negotiation between the parties.
On August 31, 2001, the clinic and the foundation agreed to consolidate into a single organization, the not-for-profit Ochsner Clinic Foundation, later designated the Ochsner Health System, with Dr. Patrick Quinlan as chief executive officer and a unified board from the predecessor organizations.
The unified organization with a single decision-making body and single management structure was considered essential to function and succeed in a changing medical and economic environment by eliminating duplicative and sometimes competing management, governing, and operating structures.
2009
Ochsner Brings Telehealth Services to Areas Across LA and MS
In 2009, Ochsner began utilizing a telestroke service to improve stroke care in rural and urban areas throughout Louisiana. Since then, Ochsner’s telemedicine program, CareConnect 360, has partnered with 41 facilities across Louisiana and Mississippi, impacting over 550,000 patients, and has now expanded its services to 32 specialties, including cardiology, pediatrics, psychiatry and maternal-fetal medicine.
In 2015, Ochsner completed over 135,000 telemedicine consults with other hospitals, providing stroke care, cardiac care, high-risk women's services and advanced interpretation services, among other capabilities that other hospitals may not have locally.
2020
Vision for a Healthy State
Ochsner Health welcomed 2020 with a name change and a bold new 10-year vision and commitment to creating a Healthy State. Together with state leaders, community partners, insurers, schools, employers, and others, we are placing a direct focus on the health and wellness of the whole person and addressing the most critical health needs in our Louisiana and Mississippi communities.
In 2020, we announced a $100 million investment to address health inequities and expand Louisiana’s healthcare workforce and community-based health services.

"Ochsner was really ahead of its time in developing tools to remotely monitor patients with chronic diseases so that they stay more connected to the health system and achieve better outcomes...We’ve employed these tools with patients in all different demographics. We’ve been able to improve on the management of diseases like diabetes and hypertension, even in patients who could never achieve control prior to beginning those programs."
