Natchitoches Regional Medical Center

Natchitoches Regional Medical Center is a doctor in Natchitoches, Louisiana. It holds a rating of 4.40 from the customers who have reviewed it.

Natchitoches is the oldest permanent settlement within the territory of the Louisiana Purchase, established in 1714, and the medical center takes its name from the city and parish it serves. The city sits on the banks of the 36-mile-long Cane River Lake and was named for the Caddo Indian tribe that lived in a nearby village. Natchitoches was originally founded as a French outpost on the Red River for trade with Spanish-controlled Mexico, and Fort St. Jean Baptiste, a replica of the original fort, is a State historic site. Over more than 300 years, Indian, French, Creole, African American, and Anglo cultures have mixed their traditions and talents while remaining distinct, and the region is known for historic landscapes, Creole architecture, and a multi-cultural legacy. The city's 33-block National Historic Landmark District, one of only three such districts in Louisiana, is anchored by Front Street, paved with weathered brick and lined with wrought-iron-laced buildings, live oaks, magnolia trees, shops, and restaurants. The district lies within the Cane River National Heritage Area, and Natchitoches is also home to Northwestern State University.

The medical center serves a parish whose history reaches from early Native American inhabitants through French explorers and priests to American arrival in the early 1800s, when the region joined the United States in 1812. Its rating of 4.40 reflects a positive response from the customers who have reviewed it.
