Touro Infirmary Foundation
In the New Orleans community, we hold many things close to our hearts —
our rich history, our dynamic music scene and our one-of-a-kind recipes.
Touro Infirmary is privileged to be an institution with a special place
in the heart of this community, and for more than 165 years we've worked
on strengthening this role as a vital healthcare resource.
Ask our patients and they will tell you that Touro is a special place where
the staff is caring and willing to help. Our nurses, physicians, housekeepers,
bookkeepers, volunteers and everyone else in between share that “special
touch” that our patients see, every day. Our donors are a very important
part of our team. They are our partners in ensuring excellent care for
the community.
The Touro Infirmary Foundation was established in 1991 to support the mission
of Touro Infirmary and the hospital’s commitment to patient care,
health education and community service through leadership, resource development
and financial stewardship. Judah Touro, a Jewish philanthropist, founded
Touro Infirmary in 1852 with a mandate to care for the indigent sick regardless
of race, color, creed or religious affiliation. His vision continues to
this day, serving the community as a premier, diverse, multi-specialty
hospital. Today, Touro Infirmary is a 564 licensed-bed, non-profit teaching
and research comprehensive medical center providing healthcare services
to meet a wide range of diagnostic, treatment and recovery needs. The
medical staff includes more than 500 physicians representing a variety
of medical specialties. As stewards of the financial contributions to
Touro, the Touro Infirmary Foundation connects our donors' desires to
our patients needs. We strive to remain transparent and open to new possibilities.
A gift to Touro ensures the legacy of Judah Touro lives on.
