The Future

What's the scoop on the new hospital?

 Check out the plans for the LSU-VA Hospital @ http://www.lsuhospitals.org/

Security

We are actively working on security issues at UH, particularly the walk from the parking garage to the hospital in the early hours and late evenings when it is dark.

Also there have been several glitches with the new ID Badge electronic door locks at UH.  Please let us know if you find yourself getting locked out of areas that you should be able to access (call room area, ED, ICU, etc...)
