Dear Citizens of Louisiana,
Welcome to the website of the LSU Health Care Services Division. This site is a window to the services of our seven hospitals and their outpatient clinics. Our health care is available to everyone and is equal to, if not better than, health care provided anywhere in Louisiana.
But perhaps the best care is preventive care. To that end, our Health Care Effectiveness Program (HCE), since its creation in 1997, has made significant, measurable strides in the prevention and management of disease. The HCE Program encompasses all HCSD hospitals and clinics and has an integrated system-wide management team, which continually monitors and quantifies the healthcare outcomes of our patients. The program has received national recognition, and it is instrumental in the improvement of the health of Louisiana citizens.
As one of the largest public healthcare delivery systems in the country, HCSD provides inpatient, outpatient, and emergency services for hundreds of thousands of citizens of Louisiana. It admits 35,000 patients annually, has more than 1 million outpatient clinic visits and encounters, and more than 243,000 emergency department encounters. LSU HCSD is the largest single provider of uncompensated inpatient care in Louisiana.
Besides providing excellent healthcare, HCSD hospitals serve another, equally important purpose. Hundreds of medical residents and fellows and nursing, dental, and allied health students train in HCSD hospitals. The HCSD hospital system is the foundation upon which LSU builds its graduate medical education programs. Our hospitals play a critical role in healthcare education.
We are honored to be the training ground for Louisiana’s future healthcare professionals and are equally proud to be the providers of quality health care, not only to the indigent and uninsured, but to anyone seeking the best medical care.
Sincerely,
Dr. Roxane A. Townsend
Interim CEO of HCSD
