At Lakeview Hospital, when seconds count, count on us to give you the best
emergency care. Our ER is staffed 24/7 with board-certified emergency
medicine doctors. We’re the only Level II Trauma Center in St. Tammany
Parish. And we have primary stroke certification to treat the most complex
strokes.
Reduced ER wait times
With rapid medical evaluations, we’ve decreased ER wait times to
some of the shortest in our part of Louisiana. Our goal is for all patients
to receive high-quality, immediate care and treatment for medical emergencies—whether
it’s a car accident, fall, or sports injury.
At Lakeview Hospital, we have the only verified Level II Trauma Center
in St. Tammany Parish. This verification comes from the American College
of Surgeons, with designation from the Louisiana Department of Health. It means:
You receive the highest level of trauma care 24/7. Examples of trauma include brain injuries, spinal cord issues, amputations,
crush injuries, broken bones, concussions, and more.
You have access to the latest technology and most skilled caregivers if
you experience an extreme, life-threatening, or critical injury. Our trauma team includes trauma surgeons, neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons,
anesthesiologists, and cardiothoracic surgeons.
You can trust us to provide you with resources for trauma care. Did you know that treatment at a designated trauma center can improve
survival rates by 18%? We not only respond to any and all signs of trauma
but also provide trauma outreach education—right here in the Northshore.
At Lakeview Hospital seniority matters. So, we built an ER that caters
to the physical, psychological, and social needs of adults ages 65 and
older in St. Tammany Parish. You can expect:
24/7 coverage from emergency medicine board certified doctors, as well
as staff trained in geriatric medicine
Direct collaboration with primary care providers and specialists if patients
need specialty or follow-up care
Hearing and visual aids to help with communication needs
An innovative Matter of Balance program and specialized care for falls
Specially designed rooms with softer lighting, larger clocks, and non-skid flooring
St. Tammany Parish ambulances now have 12-lead EKG machines. With this
technology, the ambulance team can send a full view of the heart to our
Lakeview ER before the ambulance arrives. Emergency doctors and cardiologists
use the imaging to prepare for an incoming heart attack patient.
The result? A streamlined process that saves time and reduces damage to
the heart muscle.
Expert ER physicians
You know you’re getting the best from the best when you visit the
Lakeview ER. That’s because our ER krewe is filled with board-certified
emergency medical doctors and certified emergency nurses. All are trained
in emergency care, including advanced cardiac life support.
Nationally recognized emergency care
Our ER supports the St. Tammany Parish community. But our impact is
recognized nationally. The Joint Commission, a well-known organization that accredits hospitals,
has listed us as one of the nation’s top performers.
We’ve achieved high scores for how we’ve improved emergency
care for certain conditions, including heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia,
surgical care, and children’s asthma. We’re the only hospital
in our area to receive this recognition. And it’s all for you, Northshore.
