At Lake Charles Memorial Hospital, our mission is to continuously improve our healthcare delivery-in a personalized, caring and safe manner. We believe that the safest, highest quality healthcare is a result of individual effort and a well-developed system of plans and processes. We persistently collect information, analyze our healthcare processes and redevelop plans so that we're more efficient and error-free.

As a result, patients who come to Memorial benefit from our efforts to prevent errors and our commitment to continuously improve care.

Memorial is committed to fulfilling the national patient safety goals set annually by the Joint Commission, a non-profit agency that accredits health care organizations. These goals include such things as improved compliance with hand-washing guidelines, patient fall-prevention strategies, and medication safety measures.
