History

In 1965, the Jefferson Parish council passed an ordinance for the construction of a hospital service to be built on the East Bank of the Jefferson Parish. East Jefferson General Hospital inaugurated on February 14, 1971. It originally included 250 beds and 250 physicians. The hospital has since expanded adding medical office buildings, the Yenni Treatment Center for outpatient cancer treatment, and the Domino Pavilion (outpatient laboratory and outpatient radiology, as well as same-day treatments). The hospital's primary financial support comes through the EJGH Foundation. The hospital currently includes 420 beds and over 3000 employees (along with more than 650 physicians), making it one of the largest employers in the Parish region. [4] [5]

The hospital is publicly owned and not-for profit, governed by a 10-member volunteer Board of Directors appointed by the Jefferson Parish Council and the Parish President. The hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. In 2002, East Jefferson General was the first hospital in Louisiana to receive the Magnet Recognition Program accreditation for nursing excellence. In 2008, EJGH became Louisiana's first hospital to earn affiliate status as a member of the MD Anderson Cancer Network. In 2016, EJGH completed a $2 million renovation of their Breast Care Center. The breast center currently performs over 11,000 mammograms, 3,800 ultrasounds and 500 image guided biopsies each year. [6] In 2020 EJGH became part of LCMC Health in a move that preserved the high quality of care EJGH delivers to the region and was highlighted by a 95% positive vote from the citizens of Jefferson Parish. Key people include Richard Tanzella, CEO, Raymond DeCorte, M.D. (Chief Medical Officer), Jennifer Sillinsky, M.D. (Chief of Staff). [7] [8]
