Memorial Hospital is locally-owned and operated by a Board of Trustees from the community it serves. The hospital is a shareholder of Voluntary Hospitals of America (VHA), and is fully licensed by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.

Lake Charles Memorial Hospital’s logo of four interlocking hearts exemplifies the hospital's dedicated mission of service, commitment, compassion and community. We Are Memorial: Everything Your Healthcare Should Be is our mantra – reflecting the hope, passion and dedication Memorial has for improving and servicing the healthcare needs of our community.
The only full-service, not-for-profit, locally-owned healthcare system in Lake Charles, Memorial Hospital was established in 1952 and consists of a 391-bed acute care hospital with a 324-bed facility at the main campus on Oak Park Boulevard; Memorial Hospital for Women, a 38-bed women's facility at Gauthier and Nelson Roads; and a 29-bed long term acute care facility.
