Executive summary

Given the expected rise in demand for healthcare services, Louisiana


has opportunities to increase employment by developing a research
hub to address the state’s growing obesity problems with treatment
centers spread throughout the state and by specializing in high value-
add services at an existing hospital to attract out-of-state patients and
anchor a flourishing medical district
▪  Louisiana could build on existing hospital assets to develop a Center
of Excellence in a highly specialized field that will attract patients
from across the region, country, and nearby countries and serve as
the anchor for a medical district that attracts additional research and
treatment operations
▪  Louisiana could become the center of research and treatment of obesity
and co-morbidities by leveraging and coordinating existing assets such as
Pennington Biomedical Research and building regional clinics to treat
patients
