The Pavilion for women and children
Never Miss A Moment.  While The Pavilion is a state-of-the-art birthing center, it is also a part of Lafayette General.  That means we have the same experienced nursing staff, physicians and childbirth educators that so many mothers have come to love and trust.  We are the same hospital that has delivered babies for generations of families—normal births, Cesarean sections, multiple births and premature deliveries are all handled here.  And we are still the only Lafayette hospital to provide critical care services to mothers if needed; in addition to our Level III NICU.

Keep in mind, our philosophy is different—we see childbirth as wellness, not illness.  Our staff recognizes that every woman is different, and so each childbirth experience will be distinctive and personalized.  We believe in keeping your family together, so no special moment is lost.

So if you are interested in a new model of care, where baby is not just another face in the crowd and you have choices in all aspects of your pregnancy, labor and delivery, then you’ll feel right at home.

Take a virtual tour of The Pavilion.
In fact, The Pavilion was constructed to feel more like home.  From the expanded family waiting area with adjoining break room to the new, more comfortable sleeping couches, The Pavilion has been designed with patients and their families in mind. Our new rooms are elegant yet comfortable, with special amenities like a baby bathing sink and mini-fridge.

This section will tell you more about our family-centered care, and the special benefits that are unique to Lafayette General.  We hope it will also answer any questions you may have about what to expect from pre-admission, childbirth classes, labor, delivery and your stay with us.  We encourage you to take a tour, either after a childbirth education class or by appointment (call 289-7200) to prepare yourself and your family for the special day.

At The Pavilion you’ll never miss a wondrous, miraculous moment of this incredible journey.

Parents value the specialized care we provide in our Children's Center and Level II Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Acadiana’s first and the most comprehensive of its kind.  Although LGMC has always been the only area hospital equipped to handle both serious trauma and everyday illnesses, the addition of pediatricians in the Emergency Room adds another level of comfort to both parents and their doctors.
