In recent years, New Orleans has built a reputation for itself as a healthcare hub in America’s South. The healthcare landscape of the city is constantly evolving, and these developments have gone hand in hand with innovation in the city’s biotech industry.

Newcomers will be pleased to learn that the city is home to several first-class healthcare facilities competing to provide excellent patient care. That said, as is the case throughout the USA, treatment is expensive, and it’s best to invest in a comprehensive health insurance plan. Those moving to New Orleans for work should try to negotiate a healthcare allowance into their employment package if possible.
