Bisset will be responsible for leading and coordinating medical affairs across the Children’s Hospital enterprise, with focuses on safety, quality, service excellence, and the consistent delivery of an exceptional patient experience.

“Children’s Hospital is an asset for both New Orleans and the entire region, and the hospital’s Chief Medical Officer plays an important role as such,” said CEO of LCMC Health Greg Feirn. “We’re thrilled to be adding Dr. Bisset to the deep roster of pediatric talent at Children’s.”
