The mission of american legion hospital is to provide our community with access to a spectrum of high quality health services, while promoting health, wellness, education, and patriotism.

American legion hospital ("alh") entered into a special services lease agreement with acadia general hospital, inc. ("agh") a louisiana non-profit corporation, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of lafayette general health system, inc. ("lgh") a louisiana nonprofit corporation. Agh seamlessly continued the mission of alh by assuming the management and operations of alh's hospital on june 1, 2014. This made the hospital part of lgh's regional network of facilities. Agh's role in this agreement is to provide high quality medical services using the expanded resources, technology, purchasing power and clinical protocol alignment of lgh. The intent of this arrangement was to provide financial stability and long-term viability of the hospital for the benefit of the residents of the city of crowley and acadia parish. This would enable better care to be delivered efficiently and cost-effectively, and it would ensure continued operations and access to hospital and emergency care. Alh leased to agh the hospital buildings and fixtures. The lease included all the movable property, such as equipment, machinery, computers and software equipment. It also included all inventory, supplies, and pharmaceuticals. The initial term of the lease will be ten years with four opportunities to renew the lease for five year periods. At the termination of the lease the movable property will revert to alh. As part of this lease agreement alh assigned to agh its contracts, leases, permits, and licenses so that agh could operate the facility. Alh also assigned to agh its accounts receivable for services rendered in order to facilitate the collection of the bills. Agh also assumed the accounts payable for materials, services, and supplies. There is no issue with private inurement since agh is a nonprofit hospital continuing the same mission.
