Tulane University’s medical residency program will move to East Jefferson General Hospital over the next two years as part of a recent deal that sold Tulane’s three hospitals to Louisiana Children’s Medical Center Health for $150 million. 

Under that deal, most of Tulane’s 500 residents will move from Tulane hospital to East Jefferson, according the The Advocate | Times-Picayune, who first reported the shift. 

East Jefferson had struggled for years until LCMC bought the beleaguered hospital in 2020. LCMC officials agreed to pour $100 million into the hospital and have already spent $70 million on emergency generators and a new heating and cooling system, among other improvements. LCMC also plans to renovate the emergency department in 2023.
