Welcome to LSU Lallie Kemp Medical Center

LSU Lallie Kemp Medical Center became a Critical Access Hospital with the maximum capacity of 25 acute care/swing beds. A critical access hospital’s criteria is that it be located in a rural area, provide 24 hours emergency care services, and maintain an average length of stay of 96 hours or less. LSU HCSD Lallie Kemp Medical Center is fully accredited by the Joint Commission, an independent, not-for-profit, national body that oversees the safety and quality of health care and other services provided in accredited organizations.

Lallie Kemp Medical Center has been transformed, made over, and exists today as an acute care hospital, still fulfilling the primary mission of treating all citizens of the Florida Parishes. While the primary mission is the medically indigent, the hospital provides health care to all citizens of the State of Louisiana accepting Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance and self-pay patients. Lallie Kemp Medical Center plays a role in the education of future health-care professionals through agreements with several area Technical Schools and Schools of Nursing for students to receive their clinical training. With 25 licensed beds, a complement of over 450 employees, and experiencing over one hundred thousand outpatient encounters annually, the hospital has become a major force in health care delivery in the area.
