OAK GROVE, Louisiana — West Carroll Memorial Hospital at 706 Ross Street in Oak Grove is the community’s critical access hospital, providing 24-hour emergency services, inpatient care, and a comprehensive range of clinical services to West Carroll Parish residents.

The hospital maintains 30 staffed beds and operates a full-service pharmacy, imaging suite with CT and radiology capabilities, and specialty clinic access including cardiology, pulmonology, and urology.
