"SEG Spotlight"

Women & Children's Hospital  Members since January 2010
  

For more than 25 years, Women & Children's Hospital has been providing quality healthcare services to the residents of southwest Louisiana and southeast Texas.

 

Conveniently located off Interstate 210 and Nelson Road in Lake Charles, Women & Children's Hospital is an 88-bed full-service acute care hospital, featuring a 9-bed Emergency Department, 25-bed Newborn Nursery, 20-bed Neonatal ICU and a 4-bed Adult Intensive Care Unit.

 

Since the hospital opened in 1984, services have expanded to offer healthcare for the entire family including: inpatient, outpatient, medical and surgical services for adults and children; a 24-hour emergency department; intensive care services; labor and delivery services; diagnostic imaging; laboratory services and physical, occupational and speech therapies, to name a few.

 

Known as the area's preferred leader for women's services, Women & Children's offers an experienced team of physicians and nurses who are truly committed to patient care. By offering private labor and delivery suites, a fully-staffed newborn nursery, birthing classes and a Level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for the most delicate of patients, it's no wonder why families continue to choose Women & Children's as the birthplace for their children.

 

Women & Children's is a recognized Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence by the American Society for Bariatric Surgery and is also accredited by The Joint Commission, one of the healthcare industry's most recognized quality and performance standards organizations.

 

With nearly 500 employees and a medical staff consisting of over 200 physicians, Women & Children's is an important healthcare resource for the community.  Not only does the hospital provide patient care, Women & Children's also hosts numerous support groups, a senior citizens group (Senior Circle), Healthy Woman (open to women ages 25-65) as well as a variety of educational classes and seminars to better educate the community.

 

Women & Children's Hospital...Quality care for the entire family.

David says take precaution when on the Internet!

  The goal isn't to be paranoid.  The goal is to be cautious, aware, and even suspicious.  By following the tips below and becoming actively engaged in your own security, you'll not only be protecting yourself, you'll be contributing to the protection and betterment of the Internet as a whole. 
 
The tips are as follows:   
  • Install security patches: Vulnerabilities in software are constantly being discovered.  At least monthly, check for and apply updates for all software you use.
  • Secure your browers: To ensure optimum browsing safety, the best tip is to disable javascript for all but the most essential of sites.  You'll be able to eliminate unwanted pop-ups.
  • Take control of your email: Avoid opening email attachements received unexpectedly - no matter who appears to have sent it.  Reading email in plain text offers important security benefits that more than offset the loss of pretty colored fonts.
  • Treat IM suspiciously: Instant Messaging is a frequent target of worms and trojans.  Treat it just as you would email.
  • Don't fall victim to virus hoaxes: Dire sounding email spreading fear, uncertainty, and doubt about non-existent threats serve only to spread needless alarm and may even cause you to delete perfectly legitimate files in response. 
Remember, there's far more good than bad on the Internet.
