About Women & Childrens

Women and Children's Hospital (WCH) has been proudly serving the residents of Southwest Louisiana for over 25 years. We've made quite an impact in our community and are well-known for excellence in women's and children’s health services.
Since we opened our doors in 1984, WCH has come along way from only focusing on mom and baby to now offering a broad range of services including Inpatient and Outpatient Surgery, a 24-Hour Emergency Department, Intensive Care Services, Diagnostic Imaging and Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapies, to name a few. We also offer a Level III Neonatal ICU and have been recognized as a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence since 2007.
You might say we’re the NEW Women and Children’s Hospital, but we still provide the same quality and compassionate healthcare you and your family has come to expect. With over 400 dedicated hospital staff members and more than 100 affiliated physicians who offer over medical services in 36 different specialties, we know we can provide the advanced healthcare you need.
Community Involvement
WCH is a huge supporter of numerous charities, educational and athletic programs. Annually, we contribute nearly $40,000 in sponsorships and donations to help strengthen our community. We also serve as a resource for community and health education through our physician led seminars, childbirth classes and events we host throughout the year.
On the Horizon
WCH is committed to improving our services and amenities for our patients. Upcoming projects include the launch of our new Hospitalist Program, construction of a new campus medical office building and renovations to our front lobby area.
