Trinity Medical Center

Ferriday, Louisiana (Concordia Parish)

Construction of a new 80,000 SF critical access hospital expanding quality healthcare for the rural, low-income residents of Concordia and surrounding Parishes.

The Project

Faced with the shut-down of the only acute care hospital in the tri-Parish area, community members took up the challenge of replacing Riverland Medical, a 57-year-old deteriorating, obsolete facility that no longer met current health standards.

With renovation not an option, a new 80,000 SF facility was designed featuring modern equipment and services needed most by the rural, residents (approx. 40% low-income) of the Louisiana delta region.

Renamed Trinity Medical, the new center is a licensed 25-bed Critical Access Hospital, offering the only ICU beds in the region. Also available are surgery services that the vast majority of rural hospitals don’t offer, including general surgery, urology, gynecology, colonoscopies, and eye surgery.

To treat the whole person, Trinity Medical provides inpatient and outpatient therapy including physical, speech, and occupational therapy; an Intensive Outpatient Psych program; an active laboratory; and radiology services including general radiology, mammography, CT, and ultrasound.
