Mr. Feirn spearheaded the formation of LCMC Health in 2009, building it from the ground up into a locally governed, community-focused health system that today includes eight hospitals, more than 100 clinical and urgent care centers, and nearly 18,000 employees across Southeast Louisiana. His bold strategic vision has driven several pivotal milestones for the system, including serving as lead negotiator in the acquisition of Touro to preserve an essential community hospital in New Orleans. He also successfully guided the acquisition of New Orleans-based Tulane Health System in 2023, a landmark that united community-based care and academic medicine, expanded access to specialized services, and advanced medical education and research across the region. Under his leadership, LCMC Health has grown into a comprehensive integrated system that includes major academic medical centers such as Manning Family Children’s, University Medical Center New Orleans and East Jefferson General Hospital, alongside vital community hospitals. Mr. Feirn’s leadership approach emphasizes collaboration, physician engagement and workforce development, grounded in a belief that a strong, supported healthcare workforce is essential to quality patient outcomes. Beyond the health system, he serves on the boards of Greater New Orleans, Inc., the Business Council of New Orleans and the River Region, the New Orleans Museum of Art, and Metairie Park Country Day School/ He previously served as chairman of the Louisiana Hospital Association. He has been recognized as a “Hall of Fame Laureate” by Junior Achievement of Greater New Orleans, a “Healthcare Hero” by New Orleans CityBusiness and “Executive of the Year” by Biz New Orleans, among other honors.
