Quality & Patient Safety

Delivering an outstanding level of care means that our staff at every level must go above and beyond our patients’ expectations. We must treat our patients compassionately and with the respect they deserve. As Louisiana’s first Nurse Magnet accredited facility, the patient and their family continue to be at the center of our efforts.
