Alexandria Medical District Supply Hub – Red River Trauma & Fort Polk Support
Alexandria, Louisiana anchors trauma services for central Louisiana, connecting Rapides Regional Medical Center, CHRISTUS St. Frances Cabrini Hospital, the VA Medical Center, Fort Polk/JRTC, and England Airpark. Our LAC Health counter inside Walmart #3727 at 812 Belleau Wood Boulevard keeps hospitals, clinics, EMS agencies, state police, and petrochemical hubs stocked with compliant supplies minutes from the Alexandria medical district and Red River levees.
Within 5 miles are Rapides Regional (Level II trauma), Cabrini Hospital, Louisiana Behavioral Health, Huey P. Long outpatient clinics, Alexandria VA Medical Center, LSU-Alexandria, and the Rapides Parish EOC. Within 40 miles lie Fort Polk/JRTC, Cleco’s generation fleet, Union Tank Car, and petrochemical plants along the Red River. Hurricanes, river floods, mass casualty exercises, and Fort Polk deployments demand “medical suppliers near me” that can move faster than Baton Rouge or Shreveport depots—this Belleau Wood hub delivers.
Alexandria’s heritage spans Camp Claiborne training grounds, WWII Air Base, and the modern biomedical corridor. LAC Health supports that legacy with hardened storage, bilingual (English/Spanish/Vietnamese) instructions, and ICS protocols integrated with Rapides Parish, Fort Polk, and state agencies.
