About this Location
The Hispanic Health Center (Centro Hispano de Salud) located at West Jefferson Medical Center in the Physician Office Building (POB S-640) is relocating effective Friday, February 27, 2026. The clinic will reopen in its new location within the LCMC Health Primary Care - Lapalco clinic at the following address:
LCMC Health Primary Care - Lapalco
3909 Lapalco Blvd.
Harvey, LA 70058
The clinic will reopen to patients in the new space Monday, March 2, 2026.
The Centro Hispano de Salud, led by Dr. Magaly Sotres, MD, has a goal to empower Spanish-speaking patients by putting them back in charge of their own health. Through this initiative, we are removing traditional language barriers and social factors that have historically interfered with access to timely, high quality health care to the Hispanic community. Some of these patient factors include:
- Communication with health care providers in a non-dominant language.
- Navigation of the complex health care system.
- Misinterpretation of providers' guidance.
The Centro Hispano de Salud emphasizes prevention and well-being through chronic disease management, screening programs, vaccinations, and the participation of various health professionals such as nutritionists, pharmacists, and social workers.
Because our clinic is completely staffed by Spanish speaking doctors, nurses, and support staff, patients seeking care through the Centro Hispano de Salud can receive help and guidance to understand the health care system.
The Centro Hispano de Salud gives the entire family an opportunity to receive extraordinary healthcare.
