Champ lyons, MD the ochsner years: 1945-1950.

Since its founding, the Ochsner Clinic Foundation has been associated with many "giants" in their respective fields. A hallmark of these associations has been the selection of individuals based on superior ability and integrity. Champ Lyons was a staff surgeon at Ochsner from 1945 to 1950. His time in New Orleans was the final step to the pinnacle of a brilliant, yet brief, surgical career. This bright shining star of American surgery influenced, and was influenced by, Ochsner.
