Louisiana will get $474.4 million for storm-related damage to Charity Hospital, and that decision by a federal arbitration panel is a gigantic step forward for New Orleans' recovery.
FEMA and the state have been at a stalemate over this crucial recovery project for years, with the agency claiming that the hospital had only suffered $124 million in damage from flooding and the state insisting that the facility suffered more than 50 percent damage and was entitled to the full replacement cost of $492 million.

Dr. Kathy Viator, Hospital Administrator of the Earl K. Long Medical Center (EKLMC), presented to Sergeant Willie Stewart, of the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office (EBRPSO), a certificate of recognition for bravery and service to the medical center for his actions on November 24, 2009, when he acted to ensure the safety of EKLMC patients, visitors, and staff.
Sergeant Stewart noticed a woman that day in the EKLMC parking lot acting oddly after she had been instructed earlier in the day to leave the hospital grounds.
When Sergeant Stewart approached the woman, she jumped into her car and refused his repeated requests to get out of the car. He saw bottles of alcohol in the car and an elderly passenger.

Dear Citizens of Louisiana,
Change is one of the few constants in life. Without change, one can’t improve. At LSU, we seek constant improvement for the benefit of each patient. For the direct health care provider, maintenance worker, and accountant, for every HCSD employee, the ongoing goal is the delivery of superior health care to each patient, regardless of the capacity in which we serve.
The reorganization of the HCSD administration reflects this goal as well.
As Interim CEO of HCSD, I will keep the provision of quality health care to each HCSD patient as our primary goal and will maintain our complete dedication to the continual improvement of HCSD.
When we without fail maintain that focus, we will succeed in our mission of providing access to high quality medical care while operating cost effectively, of developing Louisiana’s future health care professionals, and of working cooperatively with other health care providers and agencies to improve health outcomes.
Though change is one of life’s few constants, and a necessary one, what won’t change is our unwavering commitment to the best possible health care for the patients of LSU HCSD.
Sincerely,
Dr. Roxane A. Townsend
Interim CEO of HCSD
