As April marks National Donate Life Month, the Ochsner Transplant Institute celebrates more than four decades of transforming lives through organ transplantation while showcasing recent innovations that are redefining what's possible in transplant care.
Ochsner Lafayette General is hosting a no-cost stroke screening event on Saturday, May 2, 7:30-11:30 a.m., at their Burdin Riehl location for adults aged 45-85 with risk factors like diabetes, high blood pressure or smoking history.
Ochsner Lafayette General is opening a new offsite emergency center in Broussard, Louisiana, at 8000 Ambassador Caffery Parkway, with construction underway and an expected opening in summer 2027. The 14,000-square-foot facility will feature eight exam bays, imaging services and lab services, enhancing emergency care access for Lafayette Parish and surrounding communities.
Ochsner Health announced that more than 4,900 patients have registered as organ, eye and tissue donors through MyChart since the health system added the feature last August.
