Abbeville & Vermilion Parish Medical Supply Hub – Cajun Coast Readiness
Abbeville sits at the mouth of Bayou Vermilion, linking Lafayette’s medical corridor, the Gulf Coast energy industry, and rice/crawfish farms across southwest Louisiana. Our LAC Health counter inside Walmart #309 at 3005 Charity Street keeps Abbeville General, Ochsner Abbeville Clinic, CHRISTUS Ochsner St. Martin Hospital, Vermilion Parish School clinics, offshore heliports, shrimp processors, and Cajun EMS agencies stocked with compliant supplies minutes from LA‑14 and US‑167.
Within 25 miles are Abbeville General, Ochsner Lafayette General, Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center, Iberia Medical Center, South Louisiana Community College, Era Helicopters Intracoastal Base, Port of Vermilion, and dozens of ag/seafood processors. Hurricanes, petrochemical incidents, crawfish festival surges, and evacuation routes require a “medical suppliers near me” hub hardened for coastal realities—this Charity Street counter delivers.
Abbeville’s heritage spans Acadian settlement, 19th-century sugar mills, WWII shipyards, and modern offshore support. LAC Health honors that story with generator-backed refrigeration, bilingual (English/French/Spanish) instructions, and ICS protocols tailored to Vermilion, Iberia, and Lafayette parishes.
