Mission

Goals
- To develop and maintain a close scientific and professional relationship with our alumni.
- To stimulate advancement in all branches of medicine among our alumni.
- To assist in the recognition and support of our alumni throughout the world.
Dr. Alton Ochsner’s Creed
- Develop to the utmost one’s God-given talents.
- Utilize every waking moment to improve one’s self, spiritually, educationally, or physically.
- Be honest with others and with yourself.
- Be loyal. Loyalty is one of the finest of all attributes and it is found so infrequently.
- Leisure, although beneficial, is too frequently abused because of the inability to utilize it in a beneficial manner. Such instances cause waste and may result in detrimental excesses, such as alcoholism and boredom. Mental activity delays deterioration of the mind as physical activity prevents muscular atrophy.
- Develop and maintain a positive attitude. Determination and industriousness result in unexpected positive results. Live every moment, minute, hour, and day to the fullest. Strive to make each day better than the previous one. Life is not eternal and every moment is so precious; none should be wasted.
Ochsner Alumni Association Dues
The Ochsner Alumni Association depends largely on Alumni Dues to assist in sponsoring receptions such as the Grand Homecoming Banquet (which honors the 10-, 25-, 50-year Graduates and the Graduating Residents), medical receptions in conjunction with national meetings and other events throughout the year for both alumni and current residents.
