ABOUT THE OCHSNER WELLNESS CENTER
The Ochsner Wellness Center opened in May of 2023 as part of the renovations to the historic Huey P. Long Fieldhouse. This was made possible by a generous financial gift from Ochsner Health System. The Ochsner Wellness Center is over 15,000 square feet and offers a weight training area, multipurpose court area, cardio fitness room, dance studio, and jogging/walking track.
