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.

 

At the Becker's Perioperative Summit, taking place September 14–15 in Chicago, perioperative leaders and healthcare executives will focus on improving operating room efficiency, enhancing patient safety, optimizing staffing and driving innovation across surgical services.
