Facility Overview

The Hudson Garage is a dedicated multi-level covered parking structure situated at 4177 Hudson Street in Metairie, Louisiana. Located within the heart of East Jefferson Parish, this well-engineered facility primarily serves the bustling medical campus of East Jefferson General Hospital (EJGH / LCMC Health) alongside surrounding professional medical pavilions. The garage provides weather-protected, multi-deck parking designed to accommodate daily patient visits, clinical consultations, hospital staff, and neighborhood visitors. Its layout features wide driving lanes, clearly designated directional ramps, and standard parking stalls suitable for compact vehicles, sedans, crossovers, and standard SUVs. Full-size pickup trucks and taller sport utility vehicles should take note of standard posted vertical clearance thresholds (typically 6 feet 8 inches), while high-roof commercial vans and vehicles fitted with elevated rooftop cargo carriers should utilize surface visitor lots in the immediate campus vicinity.
