In 2022, Louisiana State University (LSU), in conjunction with its LSU Health Sciences Center at New Orleans (LSUHSC-NO), announced a major new strategic partnership with the Louisiana Children’s Medical Center (LCMC Health) to advance cancer care, research, and education. LCMC has committed an investment of $75 million over five years to this partnership to support the LSU-LCMC Cancer Center, a dramatically expanded cancer center in New Orleans dedicated to reducing the burden of cancer in a state with one of the highest cancer rates and disparities in the country and aggressively pursuing the first and only National Cancer Institute (NCI) Designation in the region.

The LSU-LCMC Cancer Center seeks an Associate Director for Community Outreach and Engagement (AD for COE) to join the team and lead efforts to engage bidirectional communication between the Cancer Center and the population it serves.

LSUHSC-NO is the State of Louisiana’s flagship comprehensive academic medical center, known for the quality of its academic and training programs in educating most of Louisiana’s health care professionals in its six schools including medicine, the graduate school, allied health professions, the pre-eminent public school of public health, the state’s only dental school, and the only nursing school in Louisiana within an academic health center. The faculty and staff of LSUHSC-NO engage in healthcare delivery, research, and teaching statewide in conjunction with over one hundred affiliated hospitals and other health science- related institutions. LSUHSC-NO provides vital public service through direct patient care including care of indigent and uninsured patients as well as through referral services, continuing education, and public health information.
