Ochsner Opens The Debra H. and Robert J. Patrick Neuroscience Institute, Transforming Access to Advanced Neurological Care Across the Gulf South

The $120 million facility adds nearly 600 employees and expands rehabilitation, behavioral health and advanced treatment for stroke, epilepsy and other disorders.

  • On Wednesday, September 30, 2026, Ochsner Health opened the Debra H. and Robert J. Patrick Neuroscience Institute, a 132,000-square-foot facility at its Jefferson Highway complex dedicated entirely to brain health.
  • This $120 million institute consolidates multidisciplinary neurological care under one roof, expanding Ochsner's neuro-staff by 25% with nearly 600 employees now working at the facility.
  • Patients begin receiving care Monday for conditions including stroke, epilepsy, brain tumors, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and spine conditions across four dedicated floors.
  • Principal donors Debbie and Bobby Patrick funded the project to improve outcomes across the Gulf South. "My family and I are profoundly moved," Robert Patrick said.
  • Across the street, a five-story, 343,000-square-foot pediatric facility is under construction, representing the largest single project in Ochsner history, funded in part by Gayle Benson.
