Prairieville Family Hospital began serving Ascension Parish and nearby communities in 2019. We are a physician-owned facility built to offer easy neighborhood access to exceptional medical care. When you or your family need the resources of an acute care hospital and the expertise of a physician — delivered efficiently with faster patient access and controlled costs — we’re here for you.
Learn more about what makes PFH different:
No one facing illness or injury enjoys spending time in a waiting room. We work hard to ensure that patients are seen promptly, with little to no waiting required — and we operate 24 hours a days, 365 days a year (including holidays) because we can never predict when care will be needed.
Much shorter wait times are just one of many ways PFH is different from both large traditional emergency rooms and urgent care clinics. Compare here:
