LCMC Health Cancer Research Fund
Creating Solutions for Cancer Patients
As part of its landmark commitment to revolutionize cancer research, treatment, and outcomes in Louisiana, LCMC Health gave $5 million to establish a cancer-focused research fund directed by the Ä¢¹½tv president and with the potential to support research on all Ä¢¹½tv campuses across the state.

Augusto Ochoa, MD, is the Chair of the Department of Interdisciplinary Oncology, a professor of Pediatrics and holds the Al Copeland/Cancer Crusaders Chair in Neuroendocrine Cancer at Ä¢¹½tv Health New Orleans School of Medicine. He is also the Deputy Director of the Ä¢¹½tv Health-LCMC Cancer Center.
- Ä¢¹½tv and LCMC Health are collaborating to finalize a competitive application process through which Ä¢¹½tv faculty will apply for funding to advance cancer-related research.
