Allen Parish Community Healthcare Hospital administrator Jacqueline Reviel said: “It is very exciting to be happening here and to know you can have healthcare here.

“Healthcare is changing so fast that in the next five years we will be able to bring every specialty here via telemedicine and probably something more inventive than that in the next five years.

“With some cool technology, you will be able to see your cardiologist, ENT doctor, etc, right here and if you have to go off for a procedure you will be able to come back and get your care here. It will save you gas and time away from your family and job.”
