St Theresa Specialty Hospital is a Long Term Acute Care hospital, meeting the needs of the medically complex patients in our community.

Some patients are not "sick enough" to remain in a short term acute hospital, but require more hospitalization before they can safely return home. That's where the Long Term Acute Care Hospital comes in.

Dedicated to a holistic, team approach to patient care, we treat patients with a wide range of problems, including

• Respiratory Failure/Ventilators
• Cardiovascular Diseases/Telemetry
• Complicated Infections/Long-term IV antibiotics
• Uncontrolled Diabetes
• Non-healing wounds
• Surgical complications
• Strokes

The Kenner campus at 3601 Loyola Drive boasts all private rooms, designed to feel more like home than a hospital. The Metairie campus is located on the 5th floor of East Jefferson General Hospital, with state of the art emergency care available 24/7. At either campus, our dedicated medical team and low nurse-to-patient staffing ratios ensures our patients receive the quality care and attention they deserve.

We accept Medicare, all commercial insurance (Humana, People's Health Network, etc) and most private insurance. Call us at 504-780-3033 if you have questions about your type of insurance.
