Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center

What Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center does

Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center (LSUHSC), operating as LSU Health New Orleans, is a public academic health sciences center and constituent institution of the Louisiana State University System, headquartered at 433 Bolivar Street in New Orleans. The institution educates healthcare professionals through six integrated schools: Allied Health Professions, Dentistry, Graduate Studies, Medicine, Nursing, and Public Health. It enrolls over 800 MD students and supports more than 900 residents and fellows across nearly 70 graduate medical training programs, producing 879 graduates at its 153rd commencement. Beyond education, LSUHSC delivers patient care through the LSU Healthcare Network (30+ medical specialties), the Health Care Services Division (including Lallie Kemp Regional Medical Center), and School of Dentistry and Allied Health clinics across Louisiana. The institution is accredited by SACSCOC (reaffirmed 2025 through 2031), LCME (through 2033), and CODA (through 2031) and serves as the statewide steward for programs including STD/HIV/Hepatitis services, the South Central AIDS Education and Training Center (HRSA Ryan White), the Tobacco Control Initiative, and the Louisiana Cancer Prevention and Control Programs (~$18M CDC funding).

LSUHSC's revenue model is multi-stream and consistent with a state-affiliated academic medical center: tuition and educational fees across six schools on an annual billing cadence; patient care revenue from the LSU Healthcare Network, Health Care Services Division, and affiliated hospitals and clinics; and federal and state research grants from NIH, CDC, HRSA, AMA, and other agencies supporting research in cancer, neuroscience, HIV/AIDS, and behavioral health. The go-to-market is sales-led within each stream: centralized admissions (including SOPHAS for public health), direct clinical referrals and appointments, and grant-funded research collaborations with state and federal agencies. Geographic reach is concentrated in Louisiana across campuses and off-campus instructional sites in New Orleans, Baton Rouge (LSU A&M campus, with two new MPH programs launching Fall 2026), Alexandria, and Shreveport. The institution is actively pursuing NCI Designation for its cancer center and has expanded internationally through a partnership with IIT Madras for global health innovation.

The technology infrastructure supporting operations includes Microsoft Windows 11 Enterprise, Adobe Creative Cloud, Office 365, ESRI ArcGIS, SAS 9.4, STATA 18.0, Open Geoda, Mplus, Epi Info 7, and R for research applications. Competitive advantages rest on the integrated education-research-clinical model, statewide physical and clinical distribution, SACSCOC and programmatic accreditations, and faculty depth across seven basic science departments, 16 clinical science departments, and four research centers of excellence.
