Memorial Health will host the 4^th annual M. Gage Ochsner Trauma Symposium at 8 AM on Friday, May 10. The symposium will be held in the Medical Education Auditorium on the campus of Memorial Health University Medical Center.

“Dr. Ochsner was an excellent surgeon and teacher who was passionate about providing outstanding trauma care and improving injury prevention,” said Dr. James Dunne, medical director of trauma services. “We host this symposium every year to honor his legacy and contributions.”

The symposium is designed to improve the outcomes of critically ill and traumatically
