Soon, residents of Allen Parish will have a brand new hospital. According to reports, a three-stage plan to rebuild the Allen Parish Community Healthcare Hospital is underway. Once the project is complete, patients will finally have a new lab, pharmacy, ER, and several services that weren't previously being offered in the area.

Phase one of the construction will soon begin, and the entire project is estimated to take five years to complete. However, the staff at the existing hospital say it'll all be worth the wait. A new healthcare and lab facility for residents in Allen Parish has been a long time coming.
