By choosing to support the LSU Health Sciences Foundation, you directly invest in the mission and growth of the entire academic medical center, ensuring a healthier future for our region.

LSU Health Shreveport (LSUSHS) educates and trains the next generation of healthcare professionals and scientists who will continue our proud legacy of innovative and lifesaving healthcare and cutting-edge medical research. As the only academic medical center in North Louisiana, LSU Health Shreveport is committed to our mission to Teach, Heal, and Discover.

The Ochsner LSU Health System of North Louisiana was launched in 2018, and this partnership with LSU Health Shreveport focuses on improving access to care and patient care quality, upgrading facilities, expanding patient-centered technology, supporting the medical school, and expanding research.

Gifts to the White Coat Scholarship Campaign allow LSUHS to award scholarships to deserving and gifted medical students with diverse life experiences, including those from underserved or rural communities. Scholarships are essential to expanding access to medical education.

Gifts to the School of Health Professions & Sciences Compass Scholarship Fund play a direct role in helping gifted students reach their full potential without the heavy burden of debt. Your generosity keeps them focused on what matters most: preparing to deliver exceptional care and leadership in healthcare.

Ochsner LSU Health offers pediatric specialties and services not available anywhere else in North Louisiana. Your gift to the Pediatric Support Fund is a powerful investment in the health and happiness of our young patients and their families through providing assistance for families in need, funding for patient care, support for research and education and important projects in the community.
