For medical needs, Our Lady of Wisdom is conveniently located near Ochsner Medical Center's West Bank campus in Gretna, one of the region's premier healthcare systems, as well as close proximity to West Jefferson Medical Center in Marrero. Families can feel confident that their loved ones are never far from comprehensive acute and specialty care when it matters most. Shopping and everyday conveniences are close at hand, including the Oakwood Center mall in Terrytown and a variety of restaurants, pharmacies, and services along the West Bank corridor.
