Why Choose Ochsner Acadia General?

Ochsner Acadia General Hospital is changing the medical landscape in Acadia Parish, positively impacting the community it serves. When the hospital became part of Ochsner Lafayette General (OLG) in 2014, OAGH was able to enhance the services in the community.

In 2018, OAGH celebrated the grand opening of its newly renovated emergency department. The hospital also invested $2 million in new radiology equipment, including a new MRI. Through the support of generous donors, OAGH replaced all IV pumps with CareFusion Alaris smart pumps, creating a better, quieter experience for patients and caregivers.

Today, OAGH continues to excel by providing Acadia Parish with services tailored to benefit the community through a number of partnerships and expanded service lines. Ochsner Cancer Center of Acadiana clinics in Mamou and Ville Platte align with OLG to offer infusion services and resources to patients close to home. The hospital’s partnership with Cardiovascular Institute of the South (CIS) specifically enhanced its cardiology services and launched a telecardiology program linking patients to CIS in Lafayette, giving patients 24/7 access to a cardiologist.

With a continued focus on providing convenient access to care, OAGC also offers telepsychology, telestroke and a telehospitalist to meet the growing needs of the community. As part of Ochsner Health, patients benefit from the system’s vast, innovative telehealth and digital medicine programs.
