Jackson Parish's Community Hospital: Jackson Parish Hospital on Beech Springs Road

When a health concern becomes serious in Jackson Parish, do you know what medical resources are available locally — and what they can actually handle?

JONESBORO, Louisiana — Jackson Parish Hospital on Beech Springs Road is the full-service community hospital serving Jackson Parish and surrounding areas, providing 24-hour emergency care and a comprehensive range of inpatient and outpatient services that residents depend on for everything from urgent situations to ongoing medical management. For a rural north Louisiana parish, having a hospital of this caliber locally available means that major health events don't automatically require a long-distance transport to Shreveport or Monroe.

The hospital's service capabilities are extensive for a community hospital: emergency department, inpatient and outpatient surgery, imaging services including CT, MRI, X-ray, and 3D mammography, cardiology, oncology, pediatrics, physical and speech therapy, occupational medicine, and telemedicine access that connects patients to specialists outside the region when needed. This breadth of service means that Jackson Parish residents can manage a wide range of health conditions — from acute injuries to chronic disease management — through their local hospital rather than being referred elsewhere for every specialized need.

The hospital accepts Medicare and Medicaid, maintaining accessibility for the full range of community members who depend on it. The 24/7 emergency department is the critical anchor of the hospital's service to the community — available for time-sensitive situations around the clock, with the full resources of a hospital behind the emergency care rather than the limited capabilities of a standalone urgent care center.

Jackson Parish Hospital is located at 165 Beech Springs Road in Jonesboro. The emergency line is (318) 395-4221; the main number is (318) 259-4435.
