HAMMOND, LA — The North Oaks Health System family joined with community leaders and dignitaries to celebrate a major milestone with a ribbon cutting for North Oaks Clinic Building 3. The five-story, 96,000-square-foot clinic represents a $50 million investment by North Oaks in expanding access to coordinated specialty health care on the Northshore.
The new facility houses 20 providers across nine specialties, including endocrinology, ENT and allergy, eye care, infusion services, oncology/hematology, neurology, neurosurgery, urology, and pain management. The facility also brings together under one roof the amenities of a blood draw lab, optical shop, prescription center, and PJ’s Coffee’s second location on the hospital campus.
Designed by Washer Hill Lipscomb Cabaniss Architecture, LLC, and constructed by The Lemoine Company, LLC, the new building is part of North Oaks’ broader plan to modernize health care infrastructure and increase access to local services.
“This building represents more than expansion; it’s a promise to our community to keep care local, accessible, and future-ready,” North Oaks President and CEO Michele K. Sutton, FACHE, said. “We’ve built this facility to meet our region’s growing needs today and for decades to come.”
Including the Building 3 addition, North Oaks has invested approximately $80 million over the past three years in facility upgrades and expansions. Looking ahead, North Oaks projects to double that investment with an estimated $160 million earmarked for continued growth and modernization over the next three years.

North Oaks Clinic Building 3 is designed to centralize and streamline care for patients across the region. The building was also designed with patient experience in mind. It anchors campus connectivity through covered walkways and interior corridors that link adjacent buildings and the hospital itself. Expanded areas for patient drop-off and pick-up to improve convenience and flow also have been incorporated.
