Lakeview Hospital hires nearly 20 former LHH doctors and providers

Lakeview Hospital has added nearly 20 former Louisiana Heart Hospital physicians and providers to its Lakeview Regional Physician Group, helping provide continuity of care to patients affected by the heart hospital’s recent closure.

The providers join more than a dozen experienced physicians and other staff at Lakeview Regional Physician Group, a multi-specialty practice offering family medicine, cardiology, orthopedics, general surgery and internal medicine. Most will continue in the same former Louisiana Heart Hospital clinic locations – in Covington, Hammond, Lacombe and Slidell – to minimize patient disruption.

“We are honored that these highly skilled and experienced physicians and nurse practitioners chose to join our team at Lakeview Regional,” said Bret Kolman, Lakeview Regional CEO. “Patients can expect continuity of care with the highest quality in medical treatment,” Kolman said. “With five locations, patients will find the convenience a benefit, as well as a broader range of services and an increased network of physicians.”
