Ochsner Opens Urgent Care Clinic in Denham Springs Nov. 1

BATON ROUGE – Ochsner Baton Rouge continues to increase ease and convenience for Livingston Parish residents with the new Ochsner Urgent Care & Occupational Health – Denham Springs, located at 27342 Juban Road, Suite 102, opening on Nov. 1.

With a total investment of $1.15 million, the 2,485-square-foot clinic has four exam rooms, X-ray space and a treatment room.

Urgent care offers a variety of walk-in services for adult and pediatric patients at least 6 months old. The Denham Springs clinic is equipped to treat many common ailments, some of which include:

• Cough, cold and sore throat
• Fever or flu-like symptoms
• Flu shots
• Urinary tract infections
• Earaches
• Pinkeye
• Rash or skin irritation
• Sinus problems
• Stomachaches
• Allergies
• Cuts needing stitches or minor burns
• Sprains or broken bones
• Rapid COVID-19 testing

“Urgent care is a critical resource for after-hours healthcare concerns that need attention but are not necessarily life-threatening emergencies. It puts Ochsner’s expertise even closer to home,” said Chuck Daigle, CEO, Ochsner Baton Rouge. “This clinic is especially important to Denham Springs, which is still experiencing growth.”

In addition, Daigle says Ochsner will continue its plan to expand with new health clinics, urgent care centers and therapy facilities throughout the Capital region. Patients can also get care from their smartphone using Ochsner Anywhere Care.

Other urgent care locations include Ochsner Urgent Care – Arlington Marketplace (650 Arlington Creek Centre Drive, Suite E), Ochsner Urgent Care and Occupational Health – Highland Park (18303 Old Perkins Road East, Suite 304), Ochsner Urgent Care – Lagniappe Center (14601 Airline Hwy, Suite 103, Gonzales) and Ochsner Urgent Care – Central (10513 Sullivan Road, Suite 100).

Like other Ochsner locations, the new Denham Springs urgent care facility connects patients to the entire Ochsner Health network through Epic – Ochsner’s integrated electronic medical record system. Ochsner physicians can quickly and securely access any past medical information and share results with other Ochsner medical providers. This reduces the need for repeat testing, saving patients time and money.
