Hospital identity and location
In a March 2006 submission to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the hospital’s chief executive identified Dubuis Hospital of Lake Charles as a member of Dubuis Health System. The letter concerned proposed payment rules for long-term care hospitals and provides a direct statement of the facility’s institutional identity.
The federal NPI record identifies Dubuis Health System, Inc. as the legal organization and Dubuis Hospital of Lake Charles as its doing-business-as name. It records a Lake Charles location at 524 South Ryan Street, fifth floor. The record was first enumerated in October 2006 and shows an update in June 2010.
Documented care role
The 2006 submission describes a long-term acute care setting and an interdisciplinary review of patients before admission. These statements describe the hospital’s own account at that time. They do not establish present-day services, admission arrangements or clinical outcomes.
The historical Southwest Louisiana community directory likewise described care for people requiring an extended hospitalization and linked the hospital’s mission to Dubuis Health System. Its placement within a St. Patrick’s Hospital address does not make the two names interchangeable; Dubuis is retained as the named long-term care facility.
Historical scope
The available records support the facility’s identity, location and historical care focus. No current official hospital website or later operating arrangement has been established from these sources. The provider-registration record is used to distinguish the entity, not to confirm that the same services are available at the former address today.
