Lead the region's most advanced pediatric cardiac program.
Ochsner Hospital for Children is recruiting a Pediatric Cardiac Intensivist to join the only heart transplant and VAD program in Louisiana. You will manage complex congenital heart patients across 300-plus CV-ICU admissions per year, supported by a deep surgical and cardiology team, with a new expanded 20-bed CV-ICU opening in 2027. This is a program already performing at a national level, and a rare opportunity to help shape what it becomes next.
Ochsner Health is Louisiana's largest nonprofit health system and its #1 ranked hospital for 12 consecutive years. With 47 hospitals, 4,900 physicians, and a new medical school opening in 2027, Ochsner combines the resources and recognition of a major academic center with a physician-led culture that keeps clinical excellence at the center of every decision. It is the institution the Gulf South turns to for its most complex cases.
Live where jazz spills onto streets, world-class cuisine is Tuesday's dinner, and your $675,000 salary buys a Garden District mansion instead of a suburban starter home. New Orleans offers Ivy-caliber private schools, year-round festivals, and authentic community connections impossible in anonymous metros—all while building real wealth, not just managing debt.
