Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport has been on the front lines in the fight against COVID-19, as a testing and treatment facility. Due to the anticipated surge of COVID-19 intensive care cases, Ochsner LSU Health responded quickly with a plan to add more than 100 ICU beds at its Academic Medical Center on Kings Highway. Transferring labor and delivery, obstetric and pediatric inpatient services from its Kings Highway location in a matter of weeks created space for the ICU addition. Thanks to the Louisiana National Guard and several other organizations involved in the move, the hospital at 915 Margaret Place in Shreveport (now Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport – St. Mary Medical Center) is once again operational and caring for inpatient Women’s & Children’s services.
Our team would like to thank the community for all the support. We ask that you continue to follow proper COVID-19 guidelines.
