Here for Your Heart and Lungs

St. James Parish Hospital’s Cardiopulmonary Team offers a variety of cardiology and respiratory services that help physicians quickly and accurately identify, diagnose, and treat patients with heart and lung problems. We offer diagnostic and ongoing care for patients with mild, chronic or acute respiratory and cardiac diseases and offer both inpatient and outpatient services.

Our Cardiopulmonary Department is staffed with Louisiana-licensed Respiratory Therapists aimed at providing compassionate, competent care to our patients—from pediatric to geriatric.

We perform services for physicians from New Orleans to Baton Rouge. Simply ask your doctor to have your test done locally so you don’t have to travel. We will schedule your test and share with results with your physician.
