Admissions and Discharge

Admissions

Patients arriving at the hospital for inpatient care or outpatient surgery/procedures should check in through the Admissions Office. Whether your admission is scheduled or you arrive in an emergency, Our Lady of Lourdes' admissions team is available to help you get registered as quickly as possible. Room accommodation is determined by your physician according to your medical needs and bed availability.

Please leave all valuables at home or send them home with a family member. Our Lady of Lourdes is not responsible for damage or loss to personal property or items.

Pre-Admission Process

Once your physician’s office has scheduled you for a procedure at Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center, you are required to register through the pre-admit department. Please expect a phone call to schedule your REQUIRED pre-admit visit. If you do not receive a call to schedule your appointment, please call (337) 470-2955 Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. – 5 p.m. (except for holidays).

In preparation for this visit, you will need to bring all current medications in the original bottles (prescription and over-the-counter medications, eye and ear drops).
