From Memorial Hospital to Health System
On 8 May 2018, Beauregard Memorial Hospital announced the name Beauregard Health System. The announcement linked the change to the organization’s development beyond a single hospital, describing inpatient care, ambulatory and diagnostic services, an outpatient surgery center and physician offices.
The 2018 announcement described a service area extending across Beauregard, Vernon and surrounding parishes. It explained the broader system name in terms of the organization’s range of medical services, which extended beyond the hospital building.

Hospital and specialty services
The official service directory lists emergency care, intensive care, medical and surgical care, laboratory and imaging services. It also includes maternal and child services, pediatrics, women’s health and surgery. Cardiac services are presented through rehabilitation, cardiopulmonary care, catheterization services and other specialist pathways.
Additional programmes include rehabilitation, wound care, infusion services and home health. These describe different points in a patient’s care: hospital assessment and treatment, specialist follow-up, and support for recovery. They should be understood as service categories, with the relevant department providing individual arrangements.

A DeRidder base and connected locations
The main organization is based at 600 South Pine Street in DeRidder. Its published location directory also identifies a family health clinic and medical and surgical walk-in services in DeRidder, as well as a specialty center in Leesville.
This mix of hospital and clinic locations explains the broader health-system identity. Each location has its own role within the organization’s regional healthcare provision.
