Ochsner – Baton Rouge and the Zachary Chamber held a ribbon cutting grand opening and hosted tours for the new Ochsner Health Center-Zachary. This new clinic, located at 4845 Main Street, Suite D in Zachary, features urgent care to serve the needs of the region and also provides clinic access to physicians specializing in Primary Care, Pediatrics, OB/GYN, General Surgery, Orthopedics and Ear, Nose and Throat.
“Opening this new location in Zachary provides a much needed medical access point to the community and its residents,” said Eric McMillen, Chief Executive Officer at Ochsner Medical Center – Baton Rouge. “This is especially important as people throughout our region rebuild and need increased options for their healthcare. We now offer 10 clinic locations, each offering the highest level of care.”
Patients of the Ochsner Health Center – Zachary, and all patients throughout the Ochsner system, have access to MyOchsner, a secure online tool that allows patients to communicate with physicians, schedule online appointments, view lab and imaging results, prescription refills and more. In addition, Ochsner physicians use Epic as their electronic medical record system. That means no matter which Ochsner facility a patient chooses to visit, the medical staff at that facility will have full access to the patient’s medical record, ensuring the highest quality of care.
“This new clinic is a win for both Ochsner and Zachary,” said Dr. Brian Kozar, Orthopedics, Ochsner Health Center – Zachary. “This community is one of the fastest growing areas in the state and has one of the best school systems.
