Ochsner Health System’s (Ochsner) Ochsner Hospital for Orthopedics & Sports Medicine is now open. The state-of-the-art facility is designed for orthopedic and sports medicine surgery and will offer advanced anesthesia and pain techniques, resulting in less pain and a quicker recovery. Located at 1221 S. Clearview Pkwy., Ochsner Hospital for Orthopedics & Sports Medicine underwent extensive renovations, which began in October of 2017. More than 3,500 patients will be cared for annually at the hospital.
Dr. George Chimento, system chairman of the Ochsner Orthopedic Surgery Department added, “We’ve designed this space with our patients in mind, utilizing the latest technology and equipment to get people back to living their best lives quickly.”
The new facility is connected to the entire Ochsner Health System network of facilities and physicians through Epic – Ochsner’s integrated electronic health record system, which enables Ochsner physicians to securely share patient information. Patients can also use personalized MyOchsner accounts to access tests results and schedule appointments online through personalized MyOchsner accounts.
