Centra opens Gretna medical center, emergency room
Gretna unwrapped an early Christmas present Sunday as Centra Health Inc. held a ribbon-cutting and dedication for its long-anticipated $23.8 million emergency room and medical center.
All 750 seats were filled and many stood in the back and along the sides as an estimated 1,000 people crowded under two large tents for the dedication.
“Yes, Gretna, there is a Santa Claus,” said Gretna Mayor Keith Motley. “It’s a dream come true for this community.”
