CHRISTUS Health is celebrating the seventh anniversary of its Bossier Emergency Medical Hospital, providing the community with timely and compassionate emergent care.
” We are extremely proud of the compassionate and dignified care we are able to provide to our community with this emergency hospital,” said Dr. Ryan Brown, emergency room director of CHRISTUS Bossier Emergency Medical Hospital. “We’re able to provide short-stay inpatient rooms, outpatient labs, and diagnostic imaging, which are all essential for ensuring our patients receive timely diagnoses and treatments without the need for prolonged hospital stays.”
The hospital includes a satellite clinic of the CHRISTUS Cancer Treatment Center that is adjacent to the hospital on Viking Drive. This clinic provides convenient access for oncology care, chemotherapy and other infusion therapy services.
Over the past year, CHRISTUS Bossier Emergency Hospital conducted 3,000 mammogram screenings, utilizing their latest 3-D mammography technology
“This shows how dedicated we are to early cancer detection and women’s health,” said Jennifer Varnadore, administrator of oncology for CHRISTUS Shreveport-Bossier Health System. “Outpatient mammograms are essential for early detection of breast cancer, allowing for timely intervention and better outcomes.”
In addition, low-dose CT lung screenings are also available. It is a vital service, especially for those at high risk of lung cancer, as it helps detect the disease at an early, more treatable stage.
Other services at the CHRISTUS Bossier Emergency Hospital include emergent care services, hospice and palliative care, imaging and convenient access to a full range of outpatient laboratory testing.
“We are committed to providing the Bossier community with the care they need and deserve,” said Varnadore. “We are extremely proud of the team we have who standby to provide the best care to those we are so blessed to serve.”.
