Our health system has partnered with the State of Louisiana as it transforms its healthcare delivery system. The partnership includes inpatient acute care and primary care delivery in Baton Rouge and Bogalusa.

As we look to the future of our healthcare ministry, we chart our course by "going where we are called."
