Breaux Bridge - A new helipad, made possible by St. Martin Parish Hospital Service District No. 2 (HSD #2), in partnership with Acadian Ambulance Service, was dedicated to the late Richard Zuschlag, Acadian Ambulance founder, on August 13 at Ochsner St. Martin Hospital in Breaux Bridge.
The $250,000 project was funded through contributions from Hospital Service District #2, and Acadian Ambulance Service.
The dedication was special for the Zuschlag family. When Ochsner St. Martin Hospital was Gary Memorial, Zuschlag met his future wife, Elaine, at the hospital while she was working as a nurse. The two married within a year of meeting. The Zuschlag family attended the dedication honoring that special memory and Richard Zuschlag’s many contributions to the community and beyond.
