Welcome Message
We welcome you to West Jefferson Medical Center, where providing you and
your loved ones with extraordinary care comes natural to us. Since the
day we opened our doors in 1960, we’ve worked consistently to make
our community healthier, one patient at a time. Along with our long legacy
of being the first and best choice for healthcare on the Westbank, we’re
also working to create a healthier future to look forward to.
As part of our commitment to the community, we’re on a mission to
provide the highest quality of care that patients have come to know and
expect. We’ve earned a regional and national reputation for excellence
in patient care. In 2019, West Jefferson was the only hospital in Louisiana
recognized with the
Healthgrades America’s 250 Best Hospital award. Wealso earned the Healthgrades
America’s 100 Best for Stroke Care and
Neurosciences Excellence awards. This is a true testament to the hard work and dedication of our
physicians, nurses and staff. Although we are honored to have earned such
prestigious recognitions, we are most grateful for the opportunity to
deliver the best care possible for every person who walks through our doors.
From our beginnings as a community hospital to now being in the midst of
a $86 million campus transformation, we’ve always kept our patients
at the forefront of everything we do. We’re excited about the many
improvements coming to our inpatient and outpatient surgical areas and
the emergency department, to improve the patient experience. We look forward
to continuing our investment in our hospital and most importantly, in
the future of our community.
It’s an absolute pleasure to serve you and our community as President
and Chief Executive Officer of West Jefferson Medical Center. Thank you
for choosing us as your hospital of choice and please don’t hesitate
to share how we can improve our services to better serve you and your family.
Sincerely,
Rob Calhoun
President & CEO
West Jefferson Medical Center
