Abbeville General Hospital

What Abbeville General Hospital does

Abbeville General Hospital is a 60-bed acute care rural hospital located in Abbeville, Louisiana, operated by Hospital Service District No. 2 of Vermilion Parish as a public, non-profit community institution that has served the parish since opening in February 1966. It delivers a full continuum of inpatient and outpatient services anchored by a 24/7 Emergency Department (9,085 sq ft, 9 treatment rooms, 18 patient care spaces) and a 6-bed ICU, supported by 26 med/surg beds, a 7-bed telemetry unit, a 4-suite surgery department with MAKO robotic and Stryker ENT navigation capability, a 6-room Labor & Delivery unit, and a Sleep Center. Beyond the main campus, AGH operates five Rural Health Clinics across Abbeville, Erath, Delcambre, and Maurice, plus a Cancer Center with a 10-chair Infusion Therapy Center, a 16-bed Behavioral Medicine Center (partner Compass Health), an off-site imaging center with two ACR-accredited 3D mammography units, and inpatient medical stabilization under the New Vision substance-abuse program.

Diagnostic imaging is built on a GE platform: a GE Precision 500D digital R&F system, a GE Revolution Evo 32/64-slice CT with University of Wisconsin dose-optimized protocols, a GE 3T MRI (ACR-accredited, including breast imaging), nuclear medicine (SPECT, MUGA, HIDA), ultrasound, and digital mammography. Patient-facing digital infrastructure includes the Cerner-powered MyHealtheLife patient portal (web and iOS/Android), online bill pay via PayMyHealthBill.com, electronic medical records requests through Swellbox, and HIPAA-compliant telemedicine video visits for behavioral health. Telestroke consults are delivered via a dedicated Stroke Robot linked to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital neurologists. The hospital held (and in February 2025 reacquired) The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval across the hospital, clinics, imaging center, outreach center, and laboratory, and has previously been recognized as a Joint Commission Top Performer for Pneumonia and Surgical Care.

AGH is funded through a hybrid model: net patient service revenue from Medicare, Medicaid, commercial payers, and self-pay (billed against a CMS-published standard charge file); a 1/2% parish-wide Sales and Use Tax levy by Hospital Sales Tax District No. 2 underwriting the ED and capital facilities; 340B Prescription Drug Program savings supporting low-income and rural care; foundation donations via the 501(c)(3) Levy Cancer Foundation; and a financial assistance / sliding-fee-scale program delivered through a Certified Medicaid Application Center. The senior leadership team has multi-decade local tenure: CEO Michael J. Bertrand II, MS, MBA; CFO William Troy Hair; CNO Heidi Guidry; CAO Tom Pigott; CMO Dr. Weston Miller III; CCO Chuck Guidry; and CQPSO Brittany Thibodeaux. No private equity, venture, or external investor ownership is present — AGH is a public-sector entity governed by a seven-member board appointed by the Vermilion Parish Police Jury.
