Dear Ochsner Friends and Family,
Here at Ochsner, we like the quote, “Good health doesn’t begin at the doctor’s office — it starts where we live, work, learn and play.” This philosophy drives our commitment to community service. Because of our size and capabilities, we have the ability to affect the future of our region, using these principles to guide us:
1 Participate or lead in those areas where our presence matters.
2 Concentrate on areas that play to our strengths.
3 Focus on the correction of root causes of problems rather than on the symptoms.
4 When possible, partner with others so that we can both succeed.
These principles have led us to tackle issues such as the cost and availability of health care, the obesity epidemic, and the shortage of health care professionals. Our goals are ambitious, as they should be. You can’t change a region with only one effort; we must orchestrate many to achieve our goals. Join us as we work together to create the healthy and hopeful future that we deserve.
PATRICK QUINLAN, M.D.
Chief Executive Officer, Ochsner Health System
