SHREVEPORT, La. (Nov. 2, 2026) – Ochsner LSU Health and Oceans Healthcare continue to expand access to behavioral healthcare in North Louisiana with the opening of Louisiana Behavioral Health – Outpatient, a new outpatient program of Louisiana Behavioral Health serving adolescents, adults and older adults.   

Louisiana Behavioral Health, a partnership between Ochsner LSU Health and Oceans Healthcare, provides specialized inpatient and outpatient behavioral health services on its Shreveport campus. The addition of outpatient programming to a new Bossier City location builds upon those services, allowing individuals to receive structured support while remaining connected to home, work, family and other daily responsibilities.   

Louisiana Behavioral Health – Outpatient offers both partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs, providing flexible support for adolescents, adults and older adults.   

“Expanding outpatient behavioral health services is an important step in improving access to care for individuals and families across North Louisiana,” said David Callecod, chief executive officer of Ochsner LSU Health. “Through our partnership with Oceans Healthcare, we are continuing to invest in comprehensive behavioral health care offerings and resources that help meet patients where they are and support their long-term well-being.”   

The expansion of outpatient services allows Louisiana Behavioral Health to support patients in a broad range of care settings based on individual needs.   

“Outpatient care gives individuals the opportunity to focus on their mental health while remaining connected to the routines that are important to them,” said Stuart Archer, chief executive officer of Oceans Healthcare. “Louisiana Behavioral Health is enhancing the ways adolescents, adults and older adults can receive compassionate, high-quality behavioral health support in North Louisiana."   

The expansion reflects the continued commitment of Ochsner LSU Health and Oceans Healthcare to meeting the needs of patients and families across Louisiana.
