Ochsner already opened services in Lake Charles, La., and will begin services at Jennings American Legion Hospital Sept. 7.

“I can do [cancer treatment] here in Moss Bluff instead of going to Lake Charles and having someone come with me and inconvenience them. So, I just go by myself now because it’s so convenient,” Theresa Hales, an Ochsner cancer patient, told the news outlet.
