East Jefferson General Hospital

East Jefferson General Hospital For over 55 years, East Jefferson General Hospital has been deeply rooted in the community, providing extraordinary care to East Jefferson Parish.

Opening on Valentine's Day, 1971, East Jefferson General Hospital started as a 250-bed facility with almost 250 physicians serving the newly burgeoning suburbs of Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. From the beginning, the hospital was to be a not-for-profit community hospital with a board of directors comprised of representatives from the community's financial, educational, civic, and business community. Today, EJGH stands as a state-of-the-art hospital with more than 420 beds. EJGH is Louisiana's first Nurse Magnet hospital and is affiliated with M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. This community hospital now serves the metropolitan New Orleans region, with a staff of more than 3,000 team members and 650 physicians.

LCMC Health is proud to announce a significant $14 million investment in Lakeside Hospital, a transformative step that will elevate Women and Newborn Care services on the East Bank of Jefferson Parish. Through this initiative, LCMC Health will unify the robust services currently available at both East Jefferson General Hospital and Lakeside Hospital, resulting in a state-of-the-art facility where LCMC Health, Tulane University School of Medicine, and LSU Health New Orleans physicians can deliver outstanding care to women and newborns.

Lakeside Hospital is set to become the premier destination for labor and delivery in Jefferson Parish—the largest in Jefferson Parish. This comprehensive approach will ensure that women have access to a complete range of specialized services, all designed to support their health and well-being.

Residents are the early mornings, the late nights, the extra chart checks, and the steady hands at the bedside. They are physicians in training who show up every day to learn, to lead, and to care for patients when it matters most.

Take a moment to thank a resident for the dedication, resilience, and compassion they bring to our community.
