New Orleans-based LCMC Health granted a $1.5 million gift to Xavier University of Louisiana in New Orleans.
The university will use the gift to support Xavier undergraduate students and medical school residents with the goal of creating and retaining a more diverse physician workforce, according to a Jan. 13 LCMC Health news release.
"Since our inception, we've been committed to taking on an active role in preparing young talent to become the future of healthcare," LCMC Health CEO Greg Feirn said. "Building on our longstanding relationship with Xavier University's College of Pharmacy, our medical pathways program will expand our partnership efforts, allowing us to address inequities that exist in the physician workforce and increasing access to high-quality education and opportunities for students and young professionals."
