The Tulane Medical Center has centers covering nearly all major specialties of medicine, and is the primary teaching hospital for the Tulane University School of Medicine. Tulane Medical Center was the first hospital to reopen after Hurricane Katrina devastated healthcare in the region. TMC pioneered a neighborhood clinic and sickle cell day hospital post-Katrina to allow health care to be more easily accessed and cost-effective.
Current facilities for Tulane Medical Center include: Tulane-Lakeside Hospital, Tulane Hospital for Children, Tulane Cancer Center, Tulane Abdominal Transplant Institute, Tulane Center for Women’s Health, Tulane Multispecialty Center Metairie, Tulane Multispecialty Center Uptown, Tulane Multispecialty Center Downtown and the Tulane Institute for Sports Medicine.
