Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat Hospital

Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat Hospital (EENT) is a specialized healthcare institution based in New Orleans, Louisiana, focusing on ophthalmology and otolaryngology. Founded in 1889, it was the first hospital in the Southern United States dedicated exclusively to these specialties. In 2000, its clinical operations were acquired by Ochsner Health, and it currently operates as a specialized unit within the Ochsner Baptist campus. The organization is supported by the EENT Foundation, which facilitates medical education, clinical research, and community outreach programs. EENT provides a wide range of services, including advanced surgical procedures for cataracts and glaucoma, as well as comprehensive care for hearing and speech disorders. It maintains strong academic ties with LSU Health and Tulane University, serving as a primary site for residency training in its core disciplines.
