Welcome to the 

Tiger Health Caucus 

The LSU Health Science Center Foundation, a 501-C3 non-profit organization, has created the Tiger Health Caucus as a service to our alumni & friends in communities across Louisiana and throughout the United States. 

As a member of the Tiger Health Caucus you will have 

  • access to our website containing timely information regarding state and federal legislation that affects LSUHSC’s core mission of education, research, and community service
  • the ability to use website tools to search for bills, identify their House and Senate members, and access other pertinent policy documents
  • the opportunity to support LSUHSC-NO through your contacts in the state legislature and in Congress and will strengthen LSUHSC’s local identity

It is our hope that we can rely on you, our circle of friends, to carry the torch on our behalf to enhance LSUHSC-NO’s ability to educate and train the healthcare workers our state so desperately needs.
