Quality
Quality care has always been our top priority at St. Francis Medical Center - from the moment you enter until you leave the hospital. That's why we strive to not only meet but exceed all regulations and standards of care set forth for hospitals nationwide by government agencies as well as The Joint Commission. We take quality seriously, and have formed various multidisciplinary committees to address best practices, new protocols, safety, patient satisfaction and more.
Our health system is a safe and healing environment. Abuse of or workplace violence against healthcare staff will not be tolerated and could result in a FELONY conviction under Louisiana R.S. 14:38 or other applicable criminal laws. We have a ZERO TOLERANCE for weapons on our campus.
