Organization Overview Woman’s Hospital was originally founded in 1968 as one of the country’s first specialty hospitals. Over the past five decades, it has transformed itself from a small community obstetrical hospital into one of the largest women’s specialty hospitals in the United States with over 2,600 employees, 8,000+ births per year, and an established reputation as a national leader in the care of women and infants.
Across the organization, there is a deep commitment to improving the health of women and infants, along with being an innovator in high quality healthcare delivery. This shared commitment has led to the organization receiving multiple national recognitions for patient care, quality and employee engagement.
In recent years, Woman’s Hospital has celebrated the success of expanding women’s cancer services, launched a bold initiative to address opioid addiction in pregnancy which has brought them national attention, and has led the state of Louisiana in improving perinatal outcomes. We also recently opened two new service lines: 10-bed Perinatal Mental Health Unit (1 st in Louisiana and 1 of 4 in the United States) and a 6-bed Pediatric ICU.
Woman’s Hospital is a financially strong organization committed to aggressively leveraging its tremendous brand and quality reputation in support of a drive to expand services to women and their families across the region and state.
