lcmh.com 3 From the CEO Lake Charles Memorial Health System 2026 Board of Trustees Healthcare looks different than it did when Lake Charles Memorial Hospital first opened its doors. New technology, new treatments and new expectations are reshaping how patients receive and experience care. But even as healthcare evolves, the reason Lake Charles Memorial Health System exists remains the same: to serve the people of Southwest Louisiana. That purpose traces back to Memorial’s founding, when local residents, physicians and community leaders worked together to create a hospital that would serve all people in Southwest Louisiana for generations. Today, as Southwest Louisiana’s health system, Memorial continues to evolve along with area needs. We are investing in advanced services, expanding access, strengthening our physician network and finding new ways to make care more connected, convenient and personal. At the same time, we remain grounded in the roots that made Memorial what it is today. We are a health system built by the community, for the community, led by your friends and neighbors across the region. Our employees, physicians, volunteers and board members live here, work here and care deeply about the future of our community. In this issue of Memorial Medical Milestones, you will find stories that reflect that balance— progress shaped by purpose and innovation guided by service. From advanced treatment options and expanded access to community partnerships and patient stories, each page reflects Memorial’s continued commitment to meeting the needs of the people who call this region home. Thank you for trusting us with your care and allowing us to continue serving Southwest Louisiana. Sincerely, Devon Hyde, President and CEO As a community health system, belonging to the people of this community, LCMHS welcomes the direction and contributions of volunteer leaders from all walks of business, industry and public service to help meet the healthcare needs of all people in SWLA.
