In August 2005, Chalmette Medical Center, the parish’s only hospital, flooded and was destroyed during Hurricane Katrina, leaving the parish without a hospital for nearly seven years. After reopening in August 2012, St. Bernard Parish Hospital, a community-owned facility, opened its doors, bringing critical healthcare services back to the community. However, it wasn’t long before the hospital experienced problems with billings and collections, leading to millions of dollars in losses. In 2016, Ochsner signed a cooperative agreement, and an official partnership was formed in 2017. With Ochsner, St. Bernard Parish Hospital and its clinics kept their doors open, preserving and expanding access to high-quality healthcare services for residents of St. Bernard Parish and the surrounding area.
