JEFFERSON, La. — On Nov. 6, Ochsner Health broke ground on the Debra H. and Robert J. Patrick Neuroscience Center on Jefferson Highway near Ochsner Medical Center – New Orleans.
Announced in 2022, the 132,000-square-foot facility will integrate Ochsner’s neurology, neurosurgery and behavioral health departments. It also will include an assistive technology lab to help patients living with ALS and other neurological disorders increase their independence, mobility and communication. The lab was inspired by a strategic partnership with Team Gleason.
“On behalf of the Ochsner neuroscience team, I want to thank the Patrick family for this generous gift of support. This new center will play an integral role in treating patients around the region,” said C.J. Bui, MD, system chair of neurosurgery, in 2022. “The goal for this neuroscience center is to bring the most innovative and advanced multi-disciplinary neurological care to the Gulf South. Our vision will now become a reality through the support of the Patrick family.”
