Description
Opening on Valentine's Day, 1971, East Jefferson General Hospital started as a 250-bed facility with almost 250 physicians serving the newly burgeoning suburbs of Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. From the beginning, the hospital was to be a not-for-profit community hospital with a board of directors comprised of representatives from the community's financial, educational, civic, and business community. Today, EJGH stands as a state-of-the-art hospital with more than 420 beds. EJGH is Louisiana's first Nurse Magnet hospital and is affiliated with M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. This community hospital now serves the metropolitan New Orleans region, with a staff of more than 3,000 team members and 650 physicians.
