re: Why is a children’s hospital looking at spending $50M for naming rights at new LSU arena?

I don’t get why companies like Acadian ambulance advertise. It’s not like anyone has a choice

but hospitals don't really depend on advertising so much as necessity and proximity. So what's the point?
Hospitals make the largest share of their money from outpatient non-emergent procedures. If you’re having a scheduled procedure you can choose where to have that procedure. It’s not always just going to be the closest facility within your proximity. Brand recognition matters.

LSU does not need a new area. The pmac is adequate enough for how much LSU basketball draws.

In light of this, anyone who gifts to OLOL is an idiot.
They already were... but definitely are now.
Although since they're a non-profit it's a tax write off so maybe there's some logic there...

Okay, I understand the point many of you have made... but, like OweO said, aren't people shopping specialist doctors in these instances rather than institutions?

I can’t tell you what other people are doing, but if you’re an average person and you only ever hear about OLOL, you’re probably more likely to want to go there than some other facility that you’ve never heard of.
That’s not how I’d operate, but I also don’t think the average person operates in the same manner that I do
ETA: how many people have you heard of going to the Mayo Clinic or Cleveland Clinic? Are they going there for a specific Dr? Or are they going there because those hospitals are known entities that have a reputation? Yes, those hospitals have great resources and providers, but they also have great brand recognition.

They are a non profit. They can’t show a profit so they need to spend the money.

I'm just responding to the idiot.
I don't disagree, the fact a "nonprofit" hospital can't spend money all willy nilly and pay their ceo, cmo, cno, etc 7-8 figures anually is absurd.

Are you suggesting that they should have paid for naming rights to the Parish Prison?

It’s a huge business these days and they are playing major defense against Ochsner.

Hospitals, even the ones with a "non profit" label, are big business. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.
Hospitals compete for business. That's why they may want to put their name on an arena.
It's an interesting juxtaposition where most Americans will look at how basic human rights people should have access to hospitals and care, thus they should all provide more or less the same thing. However, it isn't human nature to just have the same of everything across the board, it will lead to an overall much lower quality of service, etc.
So, our society needs to have competing hospitals, even though on the surface a hospital seeking naming rights seems wrong, in the long run it overall will help the medical field improve.

Is it the Children’s Hospital, though? I thought it was just OLOL, not specifically the children’s hospital, which is a separate entity under the FMOL umbrella.

There is no greedier business out there than a “non-profit” hospital.
Even the ones that have a public board can be just as greedy.
Look at some of the facilities that have been built around Thibodaux Regional. Most of those hospital facilities were built with cash and did not need bonds or financing needed.
Yet they have the nerve to bill insurance over 1,700 dollars for a blood test. Fortunately their contract rate for my insurance was 125 dollars.

Again there are many doctors in many specialties who keep privileges at multiple hospitals. I used Woman’s as an example earlier - many (if not most) women delivering at Woman’s Hospital could also deliver at BRG or OLOL if they wanted to, without changing doctors.
The same can be said for other specialties. For example, you have BROC orthopedic surgeons who also keep privileges at other facilities like BRG, OLOL, and Surgical Specialty Center. Same for doctors at the Neuromedical Center.
You can have a particular specialist in mind and still have multiple options for facilities, especially when it comes to any inpatient surgery/treatment.
