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.
The Annual Giving program is responsible for most of the annual campaigns conducted by the Department of Philanthropy. These campaigns are geared toward raising renewable operational and patient care support. The Annual Giving department conducts multiple campaigns throughout the year. These include direct mail, The Dr. Alton Ochsner Society appeal and the Employee Giving Campaign. Each year, we appeal to the community for support, and each year we are grateful for the response we receive.
GiveNOLA Day is a 24-hour event hosted by the Greater New Orleans Foundation to inspire people to give generously to nonprofits making our region stronger, creating a thriving community for all. At Ochsner, funds raised from GiveNOLA Day go to the Excellence Fund. The Excellence Fund at Ochsner is an unrestricted fund that is supported entirely by the generosity of our donors.
The Alton Ochsner Society, established in 1982, is a distinguished group of men and women who have joined together to help ensure Ochsner’s position as a global medical and academic leader.
