Orange County: Orange County sits on the Texas-Louisiana line in the Golden Triangle petrochemical corridor and went seven years without a hospital after Baptist Orange closed its ER in January 2017 — CHRISTUS Hospital-Orange finally reopened 24/7 emergency and extended-stay care to the county on February 1, 2024, with direct transfer to CHRISTUS St. Elizabeth in Beaumont for complex inpatient needs. Humana and WellCare TexanPlus dominate the local Medicare Advantage market, and proximity to Louisiana refineries gives the county a heavy union-retiree and working-age insurance profile.
