JOB DESCRIPTION

LCMC Health
We are a New Orleans-based, non-profit health system on a mission: to provide the best possible care for every person and parish in Louisiana and beyond, and to put a little more heart and soul into healthcare along the way. And that means we do things a little differently around here.

We also offer a network of urgent care centers across the greater New Orleans area. With over 2, physicians specializing in everything from head to toe, our community can count on us to provide the right care, right where they need it. 

Touro

Touro has been serving the New Orleans community since 2, and today we are the city’s only community-based, non-profit, faith-based hospital. We offer comprehensive healthcare services at every stage of life, from delivering generations of New Orleans babies to providing advanced senior care including heart, cancer, orthopedic, and rehabilitation services. Touro’s footprint extends throughout New Orleans and the surrounding areas with numerous clinics, home health services, and retirement community, Woldenberg Village. New Orleans is a city that values tradition and history and prides itself on the strength and vibrancy of our local community. No institution embodies this enduring New Orleans spirit more than Touro. Our patients and the community can count on our ongoing commitment to their health and well-being for generations to come.
