Christus Ochsner Southwestern Louisiana

The joint venture started in February 2019 and includes two hospitals, a charitable foundation, an ambulatory surgery center, imaging centers, and clinics. This joint venture is also responsible for all future health care facilities and services operated by the two health systems in the Lake Charles area. CHRISTUS Health manages the hospitals, CHRISTUS Ochsner St. Patrick and CHRISTUS Ochsner Lake Area, and Ochsner manages all physician and clinic operations. The 23 clinic locations in the Lake Charles area are co-branded to reflect both parties and are named Ochsner CHRISTUS Health Centers. The partners are dedicated to advancing health care in Southwest Louisiana and will build upon their respective strengths to ensure the Lake Charles community has greater access to high quality, innovative health care services close to home.
