Troy Henry on Public Health
One area on which Henry would not take a specific stand is whether Big Charity should be repaired or whether a new LSU Hospital in mid-city necessary. The Mayoral candidate does declare, "The City of New Orleans absolutely needs a state-of-the-art, Level-I trauma center, and teaching/research hospital." However, Henry avoids noting which option he favors. "The LSU Hospital rehabilitated or newly-built is one of the City’s most significant recovery projects and will have a tremendously positive impact on the regional economy. Whatever the final decision is, we must move forward expeditiously to ensure that the facility is completed in a timely fashion. The LSU Hospital absolutely must be completed! And we cannot let the perfect be the enemy of the good. If the mid-city site is chosen, residents in that area should be compensated in a way that allows them to have the same standard of living in another neighborhood that they currently enjoy. We would also need to think creatively about the best adaptive re-use of the Charity Hospital building, if that is a viable option."
