NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- It is difficult to find the words to express our deep sadness surrounding the loss of life associated with this horrific national disaster. Our thoughts are particularly with the families who lost loved ones at Memorial Medical Center (MMC), including 24 of our patients.
Lifecare Hospitals of New Orleans is an 82-bed long-term acute care facility (LTAC) located within MMC. Like all LTACs, our facility treats medically complex individuals with multiple system failures. Generally speaking, our patients are much sicker than the average hospital patient and less able to cope with the severe conditions that existed at MMC.
Hurricane Katrina was a disaster of unprecedented proportion. We continue to seek all the facts involved and are cooperating fully with all appropriate agencies.
