Touro has been at the forefront of innovation for generations. In 1923, Touro was one of only fifteen hospitals in the country approved to use insulin to treat patients. In 1929, Touro was one of the first hospitals in the United States and the first in the city to have a physical therapy department, which paved the way for our nationally recognized Rehabilitation Center. Today, Touro Rehabilitation Center offers specialized inpatient and outpatient programs for patients experiencing catastrophic injuries, neurological disorders and diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, stroke, spinal cord injury, brain injury and cancer. As one of Louisiana's busiest delivery hospitals, the Family Birthing Center at Touro is equipped with private labor/delivery and postpartum suites, acute neonatal intensive care services, and a comprehensive infant security system. We are proud to be the birthing hospital of choice for generations of New Orleanians. In addition to providing a full range of inpatient and outpatient services, Touro’s subsidiaries help ensure that our patients have access to the quality care they have come to expect from Touro.
