One-of-a-kind hospital in Marrero

The care you need, close to home.

From the time we opened our doors in April of 1960, West Jefferson Medical Center has delivered one-of-a-kind care to the Westbank community of Jefferson Parish.

Today, we’re a 419-bed, not-for-profit hospital offering specialized, comprehensive care in more than 50 specialties and sub-specialties in medicine.

Our departments for spinal surgery, neuroscience, and neurosurgery are ranked in the top 5 in Louisiana, according to Healthgrades. We have a prestigious cancer program accredited by the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons, as well as an Advanced Certification for Comprehensive Stoke Centers by The Joint Commission.

In 2019 we were named one of America’s 250 Best Hospitals by Healthgrades. We continue to meet and exceed national standards for care. That means you can count on us to bring the latest and greatest expertise to your care, every time you step through our doors.

At West Jefferson Medical Center, treating you like family is the only way we know. With a long legacy of caring for generations of families on the Westbank, our physicians and staff go the extra mile to deliver personalized care with compassion and commitment.

We’re a hospital on a mission to help you get to the very best version of you. No matter where you are on your healthcare journey, the best in healthcare is right here on the Westbank of New Orleans.
