EUNICE, LA. (KLFY) — The Acadian Medical Center in Eunice has been issued a federal tax lien due to unpaid payroll taxes dating back to 2022, totaling over $14.7 million.

The lien results from the hospital’s failure to remit withholding payroll taxes to federal and state governments. The most recent assessment of these unpaid taxes occurred in July 2025.

Acadian Medical Center is owned by Allegiance Health Management, led by President Rock Bordelon. Allegiance Health Management is facing similar issues across other hospitals in Louisiana.

Reports from Ruston Daily Leader indicate that at least six of the eleven hospitals managed by Allegiance Health Management have active liens for nonpayment of quarterly payroll taxes, including the Northern Louisiana Medical Center and a hospital in Ville Platte.

News 10 has obtained information suggesting that Bordelon’s hospitals have accumulated at least $50 million in liens across the state.

News 10 has reached out to Allegiance Health Management for comment on the situation but has not received a response as of the time of reporting.
