Louisiana Healthcare Network Coordination for Opelousas Transports
Hospitals near Opelousas
The federal CMS directory lists these acute-care, critical-access, VA, rural-emergency, and long-term hospitals near Opelousas. Approximate straight-line distances use Census place reference points or street geocodes; they are not driving or quote mileage:

- Acadia St. Landry (critical access hospital) — Church Point, LA — approximately 12 miles from Opelousas by straight-line map distance
- Mercy Regional Medical Center — Ville Platte, LA — approximately 16 miles from Opelousas by straight-line map distance
- Acadian Medical Center — Eunice, LA — approximately 19 miles from Opelousas by straight-line map distance
They are public directory listings that describe geography, not affiliations or endorsements. A trip may start or end at any of them, at a rehab or skilled-nursing facility, or at a private residence; the exact room and receiving details are confirmed at the bedside address for the booked trip.
For veterans and their families: a VA medical center near Opelousas listed in the federal CMS directory is Alexandria VA Medical Center — Pineville, LA, approximately 61 miles from Opelousas by straight-line map distance. That is a directory listing, not an affiliation; a trip to or from that campus is quoted from the exact bedside address like any other.
Opelousas General Health System's main campus is at 539 East Prudhomme Street. If your loved one is coming home from a hospital stay or leaving for care elsewhere, ask the nurse or case manager where departure should take place. Note the unit and a contact name, and confirm which medications and papers will go along so important items stay together.
Long-distance trips involving Opelousas may start or end at hospitals, rehab centers, skilled nursing facilities, or private residences across Louisiana. Statewide Louisiana facility references include Ochsner Medical Center, Tulane Medical Center, and Our Lady of the Lake. For an actual trip, use the exact sending and receiving addresses; a listing does not imply affiliation.
Bedside to bedside means the crew comes to the room, not the curb: the passenger moves onto the transport surface, belongings and equipment travel with them, the drive is broken by planned rest stops, families are updated as it progresses, and it ends with a handoff to staff in the destination room.
Statewide airport references include New Orleans (MSY), Baton Rouge (BTR), and Shreveport (SHV). If a trip includes separate air travel, provide the exact airport, terminal, and ground endpoints for coordinator review before booking.

How much does medical transport from Opelousas cost?

If we believe an air or ground ambulance would suit your loved one better, your coordinator will tell you.

Describe mobility, prescribed oxygen, equipment, and other travel needs in the quote request. A coordinator determines service fit; a diagnosis alone does not confirm eligibility. If the trip starts or ends at a hospital near Opelousas, such as Opelousas General Health System or Acadia St. Landry, include the unit or room number and a discharge-planning contact in the request.
How do I plan a travel date for Opelousas?
Share a preferred date with both exact addresses. A coordinator confirms timing and availability before booking; a quote request is not a reservation.
