Ochsner’s new neuroscience institute starts clinic appointments October 5

The new Patrick Neuroscience Institute brings several specialties together on Jefferson Highway. Here’s the location and how to contact the clinic.

Ochsner’s new Patrick Neuroscience Institute starts seeing clinic patients Monday, October 5, at 1605 Jefferson Highway in Jefferson.

The health system’s opening announcement says the four-story, 132,000-square-foot building brings together neurology, neurosurgery, behavioral health, rehabilitation and therapy services. Ochsner describes the project as a $120 million investment.

The facility also includes the Team Gleason Assistive Technology Lab. Ochsner says it provides patients living with ALS and other neurological conditions access to communication devices, mobility tools and environmental controls.

Where to go and whom to call

The full name is The Debra H. and Robert J. Patrick Neuroscience Institute. Its official location page lists the address as 1605 Jefferson Highway, Jefferson, LA 70121, with a campus map and an appointment link.
