LSU Health Sciences Center was established in 1931, during an era when Louisiana was suffering from inadequate medical care due to a statewide shortage of doctors. Louisiana had only one medical school and many young people could not afford to attend. By 1935, the LSU Medical School had 900 students.
“We are going to have the medical school and every qualified poor boycango.” -HueyLong
