CEO’s at three major hospitals serving Shreveport issued a joint PSA, urging citizens to assess their medical needs before visiting ER’s because they have all become overwhelmed by minor medical cases.
Instead of visiting ER’s for minor issues, hospitals are encouraging the use of immediate care centers.
Willis Knighton has seven urgent care clinics in Shreveport and Bossier City. They are open seven days a week, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with the last patient registered 15 minutes prior to closing. Oschner LSU Health Shreveport has urgent care clinics in Shreveport and Bossier City, all equipped for onsite diagnostic radiology services, EKG services, and lab testing. CHRISTUS Health has urgent care clinics in Shreveport, Bossier, and Coushatta.
