"SEG Spotlight"

Treating approximately 12,000 inpatients and 36,500 emergency room patients annually, the only full-service, not-for-profit, locally-owned healthcare system in Lake Charles is also the leading healthcare system.

Lake Charles Memorial Hospital is the region's largest family-centered medical complex, serving the healthcare needs of southwest Louisiana and southeast Texas. Memorial is locally-owned and operated by a Board of Trustees from the community it serves. The hospital is a shareholder of Voluntary Hospitals of America (VHA) and is fully licensed by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.

Established in 1952, Memorial consists of a 391-bed acute care hospital, with a 324-bed facility at the main campus on Oak Park Boulevard, Memorial Hospital for Women, a 38-bed women's facility at Gauthier and Nelson Roads, and a 29-bed long term acute care facility.

With nearly 300 physicians on staff, 1,500 employees and a family medicine residency teaching designation with 24 residents graduating annually, Memorial breeds an environment of professionals with unsurpassed skills, uncommon compassion, and an unshakable commitment to the community.

We are Memorial. Everything your healthcare should be.
