Building a Legacy: The Rita and William Mitchell, MD, Donor Wall

Today, Ochsner Health is one of the leading destinations for cancer care across the Gulf South with the ability to deliver high-quality cancer services and advanced clinical research. For patients and families visiting Ochsner for the first time, the Rita and William Mitchell, MD, Donor Wall is an immediate reminder of the compassion and spirit of service that is foundational to this hospital.

The wall, which acknowledges donors for their generous contributions to the Gayle and Tom Benson Cancer Center, honors beloved physician William Mitchell, MD. He served his Gulf South community with kindness, compassion and a commitment to building up the people around him for almost 40 years—with his loving wife, Rita, by his side.

For $5,000 or $10,000 donations, donors’ names are added to this monument with a small or large plaque, respectively.
