Ochsner...a leader in our industry and our community. Ochsner has always played an important role in the health of our community, but we believe our contribution has never been more important than it is today. No one is better positioned to lead the future of healthcare in our region, and our reputation as an exceptional place to receive care and build a career is growing. In 2007, Ochsner was:
- The only New Orleans-area hospital honored as one of "America's Best Hospitals" by U.S. News and World Report, singled out from more than 5,000 U.S. hospitals for our exceptional medical care. We were listed as one of the nation's 50 best in the ear, nose and throat category.
- Recognized as one of the nation's "Most Wired" in Hospitals & Health Networks magazine, an honor Ochsner earned each of the past four years.
