Safety-Focused Extras
39-Week Recognition
Memorial for Women is recognized by the March of Dimes and Louisiana Hospital Association for our work in eliminating unnecessary early deliveries. This hospital banner program recognizes hospitals that have achieved optimal success in the elimination of non-medically indicated elective deliveries before 39 weeks gestational age.
GIFT Breastfeeding Designation
Memorial for Women has achieved Louisiana’s highest breastfeeding quality designation: The GIFT. This designation is awarded to birthing facilities in Louisiana that comply with the internationally recognized Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding of the WHO/UNICEF Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative.
National Safe Sleep Certification
Memorial for Women has been designated a Gold Safe Sleep Champion by the National Safe Sleep Hospital Certification Program. It is the highest designation offered by the program. Memorial for Women is the first infant safe sleep certified hospital in Louisiana.
OB/GYN
Memorial for Women's Family Birth Center offers recently updated labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum birthing suites that are specially designed to accommodate women. It is the place where more women choose to deliver their babies in southwest Louisiana. Our OB/GYN physicians have delivered thousands of babies and have an impressive list of credentials when it comes to preventative care & family planning, pre and postnatal care, high risk obstetrics, infertility, reproductive endocrinology, mental health, & postpartum services.
Breast Health
Memorial offers Genius™ 3D Mammography™, which views each layer of the breast like the pages of a book for more thorough imaging of breasts of all shapes, sizes and densities. It scans all the complexities of the breast tissue in greater detail which allows better evaluation of the breast tissue layer by layer. This is just one of the cancer-finding diagnostic tools now available at Memorial. Like every major national cancer center, Lake Charles Memorial Cancer Center is accredited by the Commission on Cancer (CoC) of the American College of Surgeons (ACoS). CoC accreditation assures that a cancer program meets or exceeds 34 CoC nationally-recognized quality care standards and maintains levels of excellence in the delivery of comprehensive patient centered care.
Genetic Testing
Genetic and molecular tests have the potential to not only provide patients with personalized diagnostic information, but also allow for specifically tailored treatment plans, thus limiting resistance and toxicity. They also supply prognostic information about cancer in its early stages, thereby determining whether aggressive, early management is necessary. Some genetic testing Memorial performs are BRCA, Mammoprint, Oncotype, ER/PR, and HER2.
Newborn Critical Care
Our Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, to care for the needs of ill and critically ill newborns, is specially equipped and staffed by a team of dedicated registered nurses and neonatal nurses under the medical supervision of board-certified neonatologists. The NICU utilizes advanced transport incubators that provide a portable heated environment, state-of-the-art ventilation, and cardiac monitoring during transport of the most fragile infants.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Lake Charles Memorial Hospital for Women offers minimally invasive gynecologic procedures and same day surgeries conducted by board-certified gynecologists and surgeons using innovative laparoscopic and technologies to perform surgery through tiny incisions. This minimally invasive approach enables patients to return to routine activities in a shorter period of time while experiencing less discomfort after surgery.
