In 2021, the 167-bed Lakeview Hospital became the first and only hospital in its parish to receive level II trauma verification, the highest ranking an emergency center can attain without being affiliated with a university. Other firsts the hospital has achieved include being the first in its community to offer an implant to reduce the risk of stroke for patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. In 2023, Lakeview Hospital officially joined LCMC Health, which is also based in New Orleans. This partnership will help Lakeview Hospital increase access to comprehensive and specialty care as well as advance groundbreaking research, innovative technology, and lifesaving treatments.
