Your Health, Our Priority

Doctoral Referral Services in Northeast Louisiana

While Catahoula Parish Hospital District #2 strives to provide access to all comprehensive healthcare services to meet the needs of our patients in the Catahoula and Concordia Parish communities, we understand that your individual healthcare needs may require additional specialized treatment outside of our hospital system. Our healthcare professionals are here to coordinate referrals to specialist providers that can meet your healthcare needs while ensuring we’re supporting your health and peace of mind every step of the way.

About Our Doctoral Referral Services

When your health needs go beyond what your primary care provider can address in-clinic, having a trusted team to coordinate your next steps makes all the difference. At Catahoula Parish Hospital District #2, our providers work closely with a network of specialists across the region to ensure you receive the right care at the right time, without falling through the cracks. We handle the coordination so you don't have to navigate the healthcare system alone. From the moment a referral is identified to the time you're seen by a specialist, our staff is here to communicate, follow up, and keep your care moving forward. And through it all, CPHD2 remains your medical home, and your primary care team stays involved in your overall health every step of the way.
