What LSU Health Shreveport does

LSU Health Shreveport (legal name: Louisiana State University Health Shreveport) is a public state university health sciences center located at 1501 Kings Highway in Shreveport, Louisiana, operating as part of the Louisiana State University System. It is one of only 140 academic medical centers in the United States and houses the only medical school in north Louisiana. The institution is organized into three professional schools: the School of Medicine (612 students), the School of Health Professions & Sciences (359 students), and the School of Graduate Studies (124 students), enrolling roughly 1,095 students. It also operates 47 ACGME-accredited residency and fellowship programs supporting 609 residents and fellows, drawing on more than 500 clinical faculty affiliated with the Ochsner LSU Health teaching hospital partnership in Shreveport and Monroe plus additional sites at Overton Brooks VA, Shriner's Hospital, Willis-Knighton, CHRISTUS Health, and Rapides Regional.

The institution's core technology and research footprint is concentrated in nine Centers of Research Excellence, including the Feist-Weiller Cancer Center, the Center for Cardiovascular Diseases and Sciences (supported by the Redox Biology COBRE), the Center of Excellence for Emerging Viral Threats with viral genomics and sequencing capability, the Center for Brain Health focused on Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and dementia, the Center of Excellence for Arthritis and Rheumatology, and the Louisiana Addiction Research Center. Three NIH COBRE grants support redox biology, applied immunology, and lung biology. New research infrastructure includes a $79 million Center for Medical Education facility and 181,000 sq ft of Class A laboratory space at Mall St. Vincent. Active clinical research projects include an IDE pilot with Raydiant Oximetry on fetal pulse oximetry and a CAP-funded machine-learning study on heat-illness risk in high school athletes.

LSUHS generates revenue across four streams: tuition and fees (e.g., Doctor of Physical Therapy in-state tuition of $19,661 per year, out-of-state $32,039); clinical practice revenue flowing through the Ochsner LSU Health partnership ($3.7 billion FY2025 statewide economic impact); external research funding ($23 million in FY24); and graduate medical education funding (47 accredited programs). The combined direct regional economic impact is reported at $600 million, with total North Louisiana impact exceeding $3 billion. Customer segments include medical students, graduate students, health professions students, residents and fellows, and Ark-La-Tex patients served through the Children's Center, Rehabilitation Clinic, and Mollie E. Webb Speech and Hearing Center. Distribution channels include on-campus education in Shreveport, hybrid DPT delivery in Lafayette, and faculty-practice clinical services.
