St. Patrick in the regional network
The hospital’s current address is 524 Dr. Michael DeBakey Drive in Lake Charles. Earlier community listings used CHRISTUS St. Patrick Hospital and described programmes under the same hospital identity. The contemporary name includes Ochsner, reflecting the regional partnership.
Ochsner’s financial statements document the agreement involving CHRISTUS Health Southwestern Louisiana, including St. Patrick and other facilities, as finalized on 1 September 2018. This dated organizational history explains the expanded name without turning the earlier and present names into separate hospitals.
Emergency and specialty hospital care
The hospital’s service page describes emergency care, cardiac treatment and stroke services. It includes transcatheter aortic-valve replacement among its cardiac procedures and lists imaging methods such as MRI, CT, ultrasound, nuclear medicine and interventional radiology.
Other areas on the page include orthopedic and neurological surgery and gastrointestinal services. These represent different clinical departments within the hospital rather than separate organizations. Assessment and referral determine which service is relevant to an individual patient.

Adult inpatient psychiatric care
The inpatient psychiatric programme is described for adults aged 18 and older. It combines attention to psychiatric and medical needs with individualized treatment planning, individual and group therapy, medication management and discharge planning.
Historical community listings also identified cardiovascular fitness and rehabilitation services under the St. Patrick name. Those older programme descriptions provide context for its place in the local care network; current service information comes from the hospital’s own clinical directory.
