Community Survey: Impact of Closure of Tulane Medical Center

LCMC bought Tulane Medical Center (Tulane) from HCA and plans to shut down the hospital by the end of next year. What does this mean for you?

When Tulane closes, New Orleans will lose a Emergency Room downtown and one of the state's three comprehensive stroke
centers-- which provides the highest level of stroke care. Wait times for services might be longer. Access to life-saving care will be harder to get.

Patients will likely have to travel to Jefferson Parish for care. With only LCMC and Ochsner to choose from, healthcare costs will probably go up while the quality of care may go down. Nurses’ jobs will be harder, which may mean we lose nurses.

The community needs to know about the coming changes and should have a say in what happens. Please fill out this survey to share how the closure of Tulane Medical Center might affect you.
