Testimonials

"Building the new Veterans Medical Center in close proximity to the LSU Teaching Hospital and the Tulane Medical Complex, all part of the New Orleans Biomedical District, will restore the state of the art medial care that our veterans so richly deserve -- medical care that they have earned through their service and sacrifices in defense of the freedoms that we as Americans continue to enjoy."
William M. Detweiler, J D
Consultant to the President & CEO for Military and Veterans Affairs
The National World War II Museum


"To provide highest quality of care to our veterans who have sacrificed to serve us, the Downtown Development District of New Orleans supports the immediate construction of a new Veterans Affairs Medical Center on the proposed downtown site. The VA's experience nationally and in New Orleans demonstrates that locating VA Medical Center adjacent to medical schools and academic hospitals leads to better medical care for veterans. The DDD will continue to support efforts to create state-of-the-art medical facilities that can best serve our veterans and the greater New Orleans community."
Kurt M. Weigle
