ER &Hospital Hospital

The brand new Covington Trace ER & Hospital was the brainchild of Dr. Matthew Bernard and a small group of local physicians who had the idea of opening a new hospital for the Mandeville/Covington area three and a half years ago. While looking for the right location for the facility, Dr. Bernard soon connected with Nutex Health, a healthcare management and operations companybased in Houston. Discovering that Nutex had like-minded goals for a state-of-the-art healthcare facility, Dr. Bernard and Nutex put their efforts together. It was a successful union for all parties, and in February 2022, they broke ground on their location at Highway 59 and Interstate 12. The idea of Covington Trace ER & Hospital became a reality and will open its doors in May.
