We have eight operating rooms and three procedure rooms that accommodate 8,000 total cases annually. Since opening our doors, we have established a strong reputation and presence in the Acadiana community by exceeding patients' expectations for treatment, comfort, safety, and cost. Our patient satisfaction rates are outstanding, consistently reaching 98% and higher. Because we are a physician-owned hospital, our doctors have much more direct involvement with every aspect of care that is provided. By closely coordinating care with our nurses and support staff, our physician partners help to ensure the highest standards of care, optimal outcomes and patient safety, convenience and satisfaction. We are proud to maintain our Joint Commission Accreditation year after year. This means that we continuously demonstrate that we provide safe, high-quality care, as determined by compliance with Joint Commission standards, National patient Safety Goals and performance measurement requirements (as applicable). The Joint Commission grants accreditation to approximately 88% of the nations hospitals on an annual basis. As an accredited organization, we are subject to unannounced surveys by Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospital Organizations every 18 months.
