To support the safety of patients and co-workers, Parkview Lagrange Hospital (PLH) is temporarily closed due to an air conditioning outage that is expected to last up to 48 hours. Area residents in need of emergency care are encouraged to call 9-1-1 or travel to the next closest emergency room.
Those who seek emergency care at PLH will be directed to a temporary Emergency Department located inside the hospital’s medical office building, which was not impacted by the outage. Those patients will receive an emergency medical screening exam and be guided to appropriate care. Obstetrics screenings are also available.
All hospital inpatients have been transferred to other facilities. All scheduled surgeries and procedures have been rescheduled. Because the medical office building is unaffected by the outage, all Parkview Physicians Group clinics there remain open. We are closely monitoring the situation and will notify the public when full services resume.
