Ochsner Health is a system that delivers health to the people of Louisiana, Mississippi and the Gulf South with a mission to Serve, Heal, Lead, Educate and Innovate.
Ochsner's Haiti Relief Fund has allowed the Ochsner family to continue its support of the recovery and relief efforts in Haiti with a focus more on self-reliance and resiliency rather than dependency.
The University of Queensland and Ochsner Clinical School sends selected 4th year UQ students on an annual trip to Haiti to work with a local clinic. This is the mission seen through their eyes.
