Community
St. James Parish Hospital's commitment to serve the community extends to its outreach educational and screening programs for citizens, business and industry. From cholesterol and blood pressure screenings at churches and schools, and teaching CPR at industrial plant sites, our professional staff is active in promoting healthy and safety as a free community service. CPR classes are offered to the community as well as Safe Sitter classes, preparing adolescents for safe babysitting.

Puberty classes are provided to help young girls and boys who are facing the challenging years of puberty. The hospital offers a free diabetes patient education program. This program is open to anyone who has diabetes. St. James Parish Hospital offers a Diabetic Support Group to offer support and education to those with Diabetes. It is held at 6:00pm the last Tuesday of each month at St. James Parish Hospital.

The Cancer Support Group is sponsored by St. James Parish Hospital along with the Cancer Services of Baton Rouge. Refer to our community calendar for upcoming events!
