 GUESTS

Today we had the pleasure of having as our guests, Eileen Murray, guest of Stanton Murray, Murray Yacht Sales and Mike Siegel, President of Corporate Realty, guest of Malcolm Ehrhardt, The Ehrhardt Group.

PROGRAM 

Our program today featured GNOEA Members’ Ron Blitch, Blitch/Knevel Architects & Hank Tatje, Argote, Derbes, Graham, Shuffield & Tatje. 

In a joint effort, they explained the current progress with the University Medical Center and the opportunities surrounding this project.  This hospital will feature the most advanced technology available, diagnostic and treatment areas of the new, 424-bed UMC.  Equally important, the new hospital will serve as a major training center for the education of medical professionals for generations to come.

The University Medical Center in New Orleans is a $1.2 billion teaching hospital that will improve health care across the state and create hundreds of jobs in the area.  The combined UMC and VA medical centers and related BioDistrict private investment are expected to generate $9.6 billion in personal earnings over the next 20 years and create more than 17,000 total jobs in the New Orleans metropolitan area.
