Summary:After the levees failed, with the city seemingly ruined and our patients evacuated to transplant centers around the nation, we wondered if our transplant team would stay together, if we would ever transplant at Ochsner again. [...]the adult heart, liver, and kidney transplant programs quickly became active. Over the next 5 years, we will continue to differentiate ourselves by delivering superior quality, by focusing on patient satisfaction and improving the patient experience, and through the use of innovative surgical techniques and new technologies. [...]I am proud to be part of the Ochsner transplant team, a team composed of people who strive to deliver excellence every day. * Academic Division of Ochsner Clinic Foundation
