As your community health system, our commitment to provide exceptional healthcare remains at the heart of our mission, and we firmly believe that a healthy community equals a growing, thriving community. Not only is growth essential for a community’s overall health, but it also happens to be a top priority for Memorial. The recent decision to partner with South Cameron Memorial Hospital to provide much-needed healthcare services to Cameron Parish residents, along with the new, soon-toopen LCMHS Diagnostics Center in Moss Bluff, represents our dedication to meeting the healthcare needs of the communities we serve. We understand that proximity to quality healthcare is paramount, and these expansions demonstrate our commitment to this goal. Embedded within these pages are stories of our patients— our neighbors, friends and family members. These narratives highlight the profound impact that healthcare can have on individuals and families. Through the highs and lows, our dedicated team stands ready to provide support, healing and hope. I am incredibly proud of the outstanding providers on our medical staff. Their dedication, expertise and compassion form the backbone of our health system. They aren’t just doctors you trust; they’re your link to an entire network of quality providers. These stories speak to the unwavering commitment of these healthcare heroes. To honor their commitment, in 2023 we introduced the Golden Stethoscope Award, recognizing the outstanding contributions of our medical staff. These individuals embody the values of excellence, empathy and innovation that define our health system. Our winners can be found on pages 4 and 5, and we encourage you to read more about these fine providers. We understand that the best healthcare is not solely about treating illnesses; it is about fostering genuine connections, instilling hope and empowering individuals to live their lives to the fullest. As we navigate the path ahead, let us continue to work together to build a healthier, more resilient community. Thank you for trusting us as your healthcare home. Sincerely, Devon Hyde, President and CEO
