New Orleans-based Ochsner Health System is expanding its cancer care to rural areas of Southwest Louisiana, 7KPLC reported Aug. 23.
Ochsner already opened services in Lake Charles, La., and will begin services at Jennings American Legion Hospital Sept. 7.
"I can do [cancer treatment] here in Moss Bluff instead of going to Lake Charles and having someone come with me and inconvenience them. So, I just go by myself now because it's so convenient," Theresa Hales, an Ochsner cancer patient, told the news outlet.
