Women & Children's Fund
Lake Charles Memorial Hospital for Women is leading the charge in women’s healthcare and is the premier choice birthing facility in southwest Louisiana. Our specialized clinical team combines comprehensive inpatient and outpatient services geared towards women, including pregnancy, childbirth, gynecology, neonatal intensive care, general surgery, prenatal and breast cancer genetics education/testing and breast health. Additionally, the most advanced diagnostics include digital mammography, laboratory testing, radiology, CT, bone density scanning and ultrasound.
Lake Charles Memorial Hospital for Women also has the most advanced Level III neonatal intensive care unit in southwest Louisiana. Because we know that high-risk newborns need their parents as much as they need the care that our dedicated team of neonatal specialists provides, parents have access to their infant and are included in decisions about his or her care while your infant is nurtured in our NICU.
Our premier women’s health facility is supported by The Foundation’s Women and Children’s Fund. The fund supports the Women's Campus initiatives, NICU, and pediatric programs & projects.
Recent projects include the NicView “livestream” cameras, and aMaternal/Fetal Simulation Lab for advanced NICU and Family Birth Center nurse training. Ongoing assistance is provided in the areas of rooming-in-rooms for out-of-town families, “Baby Goes Home” Packages (car seat, pack & play, diapers), and gas cards for patients in need.
The Foundation’s Margarita Mix Off is a fundraising event that exclusively supports the Women and Children’s Fund. To learn more about the event or how you can support this cause, click here.
