Ochsner Lafayette General has announced plans to develop a new offsite emergency center in Broussard, marking a significant investment in healthcare infrastructure for the region.
The proposed facility will be a 14,000 square foot emergency center designed to provide immediate, high quality care for a wide range of medical needs. The center will include multiple patient exam rooms, advanced diagnostic imaging such as CT, ultrasound, and X ray, and comprehensive on site laboratory services. Patients can expect the same level of care and clinical standards associated with the Ochsner Lafayette General system.
The new emergency center will be located along the Ambassador Caffery corridor, an area that continues to experience steady residential and commercial growth. This location was strategically selected to improve access to emergency medical services for residents in Broussard and surrounding communities, helping to reduce travel time during critical situations.
As Broussard continues to expand, the addition of accessible healthcare facilities plays an important role in supporting the needs of a growing population. The new center will enhance emergency response capabilities in the area while providing residents with closer access to essential medical services.
In addition to its healthcare benefits, the project represents continued economic activity within the region. Developments of this scale typically contribute to job creation during both the construction phase and ongoing operations, while also encouraging further investment in nearby commercial areas.
Construction is currently underway, with an anticipated opening in 2027. This project reflects ongoing growth in Broussard and the continued expansion of healthcare services within Lafayette Parish.
