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.

The STEM award is dedicated to providers who embody service, teamwork, excellence, and mentorship in medicine. We're proud to honor Dr. Shauna Levy, specializing in Weight Loss, with this award. 👏🩺

A fellow team member had the following to say: "Dr. Levy exemplifies clinical excellence while uplifting those around her. She does not simply perform surgeries; she shapes future providers, strengthens team dynamics, and creates an environment where learning and compassion coexist. Her leadership improves not only individual careers, but the overall standard of care delivered to our patients."

Thanks to the generosity of Greg and Deanna Nielsen, the East Jefferson General Hospital Foundation launched a raffle to kick-start the new Team Member Assistance Fund. This fund provides financial support to team members facing unforeseen crises. The response to the raffle was incredible. By purchasing raffle tickets for two VIP Grand Marshal tickets to Jazz Fest, our team helped us raise $5,414 in support of this fund. The excitement culminated at last night’s Family fun at City Park event where we officially selected a lucky winner! 🥳
Congratulations to Christopher Aupied, CRNA! 👏
