Covid Guidance Update

Safety remains our highest priority as LSSH continues to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Guidelines remain in place to ensure the safety of everyone and reduce risk of infection. Below is a summary of the expectations for all visitors and healthcare workers that enter LSSH.

EXPAND
MASKS

Louisiana Department of Health recommends that everyone entering LSSH wear a mask, regardless of vaccination status.

  • This includes all patients, visitors, and members of our team, even in non-clinical areas
  • Masks may be removed when eating/drinking in designated areas
 
SCREENING

Everyone will be screened upon entry to LSSH for symptoms, including:

  • Fever greater than or equal to 100.4°F
  • Cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
  • Sore throat
  • Congestion that differs from their typical seasonal allergies
  • Body aches
  • Fatigue
  • Loss of smell/taste
  • Vomiting/Diarrhea
  • Active COVID infection/pending testing or recent exposure

Anyone that answers “YES” to any of the screening symptoms, will not be allowed entry into the facility.

 
PRE-OPERATIVE TESTING
  • Preoperative COVID-19 testing is performed at the request of your physician.
 
SOCIAL DISTANCING

Everyone is expected to maintain a social distance (6 feet or more) when appropriate

 
VISITATION GUIDELINES
  • All patients are allowed two healthy visitors over the age of 18 to accompany them to the hospital. Exceptions are made for pediatric and special needs patients.
VACCINES

We strongly encourage everyone in Acadiana to roll up their sleeves and get vaccinated. Unvaccinated individuals are at a substantially higher risk for developing severe symptoms that may require hospitalization. Please help us slow the spread of COVID-19 for ourselves, our community, and the entire Louisiana healthcare system.

Please contact LSSH at 769-4100 if you have any questions. Stay safe!

This was the first time that I had ever been operated on; I could not have gotten a better doctor and staff. Thank you so much!
The doctor and staff were all excellent, including the physical therapists that I worked with. The facility is clean and beautifully decorated with large, comfortable rooms for patients.
Very pleasant experience as far as the staff and the facility. My wife and I actually talked about how nice the place and staff were compared to some we have been to in the past.
Very pleased with the care I received! All nurses, doctors, and staff were very helpful and professional!
My nurses and PT were amazing! They always made sure I was comfortable and felt good. They included my husband as much as possible and made sure he understood.

We are very excited to announce that Dr. Jason Cormier of Lafayette Surgical Specialty Hospital recently performed the first procedure in the world utilizing the Mirus IO™ Expandable Lumbar Interbody, a new device for spinal neurosurgery.
