Dr. Donald Higgins

For  Dr. Higgins, exceptional patient care isn’t just a profession—it’s personal. Raised by a nurse, he learned early on the importance of caring for the people who make up your community: friends, family, and neighbors. Practicing at Memorial allows Dr. Higgins to live out that commitment every day. He points to Memorial’s residency partnership with LSU as a cornerstone of Lake Charles Memorial Health System’s mission to deliver comprehensive, high-quality care—close to home. As an alumnus of the residency program himself, Dr. Higgins understands firsthand that investing in strong physician training strengthens not only providers, but the health of the entire community.
