There is a current LSU/VA proposal that would abandon Charity Hospital, destroy a 27-block area of Lower Mid-City, and threaten the vitality of downtown New Orleans. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, LSU has put forward a plan that would claim 249 homes in Lower Mid-City for a new LSU Academic Medical Center and VA Medical Complex and extend from Clairborne Avenue to Rocheblave Street. An alternative plan would rebuild the LSU Academic Medical Center within Charity Hospital and reduce the footprint of the project. Learn more at www.SaveCharityHospital.com
