Welcome to Jackson Parish Hospital.We are honored that you chose our hospital for your healthcare needs, and we want to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Our history began with an ordinance being adopted by the Jackson Parish Police Jury on June 8, 1959 allowing for the creation of a Hospital Service District. Dedication and Open House of the Hospital was held on Sunday, March 4,1962. It began with 37 beds with two admitting Drs.—Dr. Gibbons and Dr. Robinson. At that time, we had the following Physicians on the Medical Staff—Drs. W.S. Marshall, John S. Robinson, George H. Robinson, George E. Gibbons, Robert L. Firnberg, and A.E. McKeithen. Mr. James D. Putnam was our first Administrator for the facility. The Hospital Board consisted of Mr. Sam Thomas, Jr., Chairman, Mrs. Chet Steadman, Mr. O.M. Gresham, Mr. H.C. Womack, and Mr. I. B. Peters. The Ambulance Service was organized and began in June, 1969. An expansion project completed in 1973 enlarged the facility to include an additional 20 beds.

The Jackson Parish Hospital is presently licensed for 49 hospital beds. We have grown to offer a scope of services of which we are proud. We are committed to providing quality patient care to all who need our services.

We welcome the opportunity to serve you.
