Approximately six weeks after Hurricane Ida made landfall, Ochsner St. Anne Hospital returned to full operations, resuming labor and delivery and surgical services on Oct. 15.
Ochsner St. Anne’s Emergency Department remained open during and after the storm made landfall to continue serving the community in the Bayou Region and other healthcare services were reopened over the last few weeks, including the hospital’s Med Surg Unit and outpatient services, which resumed on Sept. 8 and 10, respectively.
“We understand and appreciate how unique and special our region is. I am so proud of our team who has worked hard to bring back all healthcare services for our patients in such a short time,” said Tim Allen, CEO of Ochsner Health’s Bayou Region. “This is an important reminder to our community that our staff is and always will be here for them to provide quality healthcare when they need us the most. Hurricane recovery does not end when power is restored, or debris is removed. Bringing healthcare services and resources back into this community is critically important as our neighbors and loved ones rebuild and work to return home.”
