Prairieville ER & 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 PER&H 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 PER&H is different from both large traditional emergency rooms and urgent care clinics. Compare here:
