History
L’Hospital des Pauvres de la Charite was opened in 1736 as a charitable institution and was a modest operation then located on the corner of Chartres and Bienville streets. This institution later evolved into Charity Hospital, located on Tulane Avenue, which was constructed in 1939; at the time, it was the second largest hospital in the United States. Charity Hospital was closed in 2005 after significant damage was caused by Hurricane Katrina. University Medical Center New Orleans was opened in 2015 as a partial replacement for Charity Hospital and other closed or deprecated institutions within the city.
