Ochsner MD Anderson Cancer Center in New Orleans will soon be one of only eight cancer treatment facilities in the world, and the first in the South, to offer biology-guided radiotherapy (BgRT), a breakthrough treatment currently FDA approved for patients diagnosed with primary or metastatic tumors to lung and bone. The new treatment uses the unique biology of the cancer itself to guide radiotherapy delivery, even in tumors that are in motion.

Manning Family Children’s is constructing a new 60-bed Level 4 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The new flagship unit will anchor the hospital’s regional neonatology network and address a critical need for expanded capacity and advanced specialized care for families from across Louisiana and the Gulf South.

The project will increase the hospital’s current main campus NICU capacity from 35 to 60 beds, while expanding its broader regional neonatal network, which encompasses all LCMC Health birthing hospitals and its affiliate partners, to nearly 200 beds.
