Touro marked its 174th birthday by celebrating the opening of its newly renovated, $7.5 million Outpatient Surgery Center, doubling its size to enhance access to surgical care in an outpatient setting. The facility now features six operating rooms and 15 pre- and post-operative bays, accommodating more patients and offering a broader range of procedures.
"Generations of New Orleanians have trusted Touro with their lives, their families and their health," said Greg Feirn, CEO of LCMC Health. "Delivering world-class care since 1852 is an extraordinary legacy, but our duty to this community isn't just to look back at our history; it's to continue investing in its future. The dedication and hard work of the team at Touro ensure it will remain a cornerstone of health in New Orleans for generations to come."
