In partnership with the New Orleans Saints and New Orleans Pelicans, Ochsner Health announced plans for Ochsner Medical Complex – Airline. The facility will be located on the corner of Airline Drive and Tom Benson Way in Metairie, adjacent to Ochsner Sports Performance Center, the practice facility for the Saints and Pelicans.
James Andrews, MD, and Andrews Medicine will also play an integral role in the design of the facility and its orthopedic and sports medicine services. Andrews Medicine is a venture that partners with healthcare systems nationwide to deliver orthopedic and sports medicine care.
Ochsner Medical Complex - Airline plans include a two-story building spanning more than 46,000 square feet. Anchored by Ochsner’s personalized orthopedics and sports medicine care for both professional and amateur athletes, phase one of the building will also include pediatrics, women’s services, physical therapy, imaging, and lab services. Future growth in the second phase will add outpatient surgical capabilities and expanded clinical services.
Construction of the $45.6 million complex will begin later this year, with an anticipated opening in late 2027. Ochsner Medical Complex - Airline will have an estimated economic impact of $134 million over the next 10 years and bring more than 60 permanent jobs to Jefferson Parish.
