Ochsner Baptist Medical Center Opens New Orleans Expansion

Ochsner Baptist Medical Center opened a $12 million expansion of its Uptown New Orleans campus in January of 2009. Comprised of a 6,000-sf emergency department, a 12-bed ICU, and a 43-bed inpatient wing featuring entirely private rooms, the project includes a comprehensive imaging center with MRI and CT instruments, six surgical suites, and two cardiac catheterization suites. The expansion was designed by Rozas/Ward Architects with Construction South as general contractor.
