Dear friends, colleagues, and community members,

Improvements to our community hospital are long overdue. For many years, we've provided excellent care in a substandard space. There is a critical need to expand the Emergency Department, as well as maternity services.

This is the year! This is the year that we'll break ground on these much-needed improvements. A new addition of 15,000 square feet is dedicated to the Emergency Department, and we'll renovate 22,000 square feet of vacant space on the third floor for a comprehensive women's health center.

As we invest in expansions and improvements to our facilities and services, we see significant utilization, which validates our efforts. The Infusion Center and Wound Healing Center are two examples. Furthermore, our interventional cardiovascular services have allowed more patients to receive care right here at our community hospital, significantly improving their quality of life. Most recently, we've invested in property in South Beauregard for future development to better serve all the people of Beauregard Parish.

While we continue to make significant improvements and progress, we balance these investments in our facilities with continuous scrutiny on controlling costs, right-sizing staffing, utilizing technology, and managing our supply chain, in addition to upholding exceptional quality of care, staff, and patient safety.

We are committed to the advancement of rural health care. We will continue investing in our facilities and people, and we will continue to work daily to earn your trust and business. We are your community hospital. We are Beauregard!
