The Excellence Fund at Ochsner is an unrestricted fund that is supported entirely by the generosity of our donors. Annually, teams throughout Ochsner submit applications and a committee selects projects to receive support from the fund. These projects create opportunities for improvements and innovations in patient care that are changing and saving lives every day. Since 2013, donors have helped support nearly 180 projects! In 2019, donors like you made 32 innovative projects possible! Read more about the projects that your generosity has funded since 2013.
