Leonard J. Chabert Medical Center
Southern Regional Medical Center d/b/a Leonard J. Chabert Medical Center is owned by Hospital Service District No. 1 of the Parish of Terrebonne, a political subdivision of the State of Louisiana, and managed by Ochsner Health System.
Since 1978 Leonard J. Chabert Medical Center (LJCMC) has been caring for the underserved in the region. In addition to this mission, the hospital was established as a graduate medical teaching facility to provide clinical training for physicians, nurses and allied health personnel.
LJCMC is a 156 bed licensed acute care facility accredited by the Joint Commission providing both primary and secondary levels of care. Inpatient and outpatient services include radiology, laboratory, emergency medicine, physical rehabilitation, pediatrics, oncology, pulmonary/critical care medicine, cardiology, urology, orthopedics, surgery, and psychiatric care. These services account for approximately 2,600 inpatient discharges, 248,000 outpatient tests and procedures, 122,000 clinic visits, and 34,500 emergency department encounters. LJCMC’s physician group South Louisiana Medical Associates (SLMA) is comprised of eighty-five providers including physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and nurse anesthetists. SLMA physicians span eighteen specialties providing clinic and hospital services.
In May 2013 a public/private partnership between Ochsner Health System and Terrebonne General Medical Center (TGMC) was initiated. Ochsner and TGMC worked collaboratively to develop sustainable solutions to deliver crucial safety-net services for the region and preserve academic training at LJCMC.
Leonard J. Chabert Medical Center continues its long tradition as a safety-net provider for the underserved in the region while achieving unprecedented access, service, and quality of care for its patients.
