Ochsner is joining forces with the Volunteer Center through sponsorship for the upcoming year, helping mobilize volunteers to support healthier, more resilient communities across Southeast Louisiana. The two share the partnership connects United Way’s community-driven approach with Ochsner’s purpose to serve, heal and strengthen the communities it calls home.
