St James Parish Hospital

What St James Parish Hospital does

St. James Parish Hospital is a public, nonprofit, 25-bed Critical Access Hospital located in Lutcher, Louisiana, founded in 1955 and serving St. James Parish and the surrounding River Region. The hospital operates as a comprehensive rural healthcare system offering inpatient acute care, skilled nursing, surgical services, 24/7 emergency and urgent care, diagnostic imaging, laboratory, cardiopulmonary diagnostics, and a broad therapy service line covering physical, occupational, speech, lymphedema, pelvic floor, and sports medicine. Outpatient access is delivered through hospital-based clinics, hospital-affiliated clinics, a converted Rural Health Clinic, and an on-site retail pharmacy (Parish Pharmacy) operated in partnership with ProxsysRx. Telehealth capabilities and a planned mobile outreach initiative extend the hospital's reach into the community.

The hospital's core technology stack consists of standard hospital information systems and digital access tools for scheduling, intake, and care coordination, with no disclosed proprietary technology, AI/ML capabilities, or data assets. The hospital participates in HRSA's three-year Delta Region Community Health Systems Development (DRCHSD) Program, which has supported operational improvements, the new Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program, telehealth expansion, and Rural Health Clinic conversion. The hospital also runs community health programs including the Freedom From Smoking tobacco cessation partnership with the American Lung Association, free sports physicals for Lutcher High School athletes, puberty education classes, and CPR certification training.

Revenue is generated through patient services reimbursed by Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, and patient payments. Pricing follows a service-based model with published community class fees (e.g., $15 puberty classes, $75 CPR certification) and free community health offerings (tobacco cessation). The hospital is governed by a Board of Commissioners and led by CEO Mary Ellen Pratt. A separately chartered Wellness Foundation supports fundraising for community health initiatives, and a Community Coalition identifies local health priorities.
