62 Years of Caring!

Our primary goal is to provide quality, compassionate, affordable & accessible health care. We are able to offer this with the help of our physicians, staff members, volunteers & community. Working together, we can provide greater benefits of lasting value that will touch more lives than ever before.

On May 29, 1957, Opelousas General Hospital, under the management of the Marianites of Holy Cross, opened its doors to this community. The growth and prosperity of this hospital over the past 62 years has been nothing short of remarkable.
