(more information at wkhs.com) The Oaks of Louisiana is located in southeast Shreveport and offers independent living, assisted living and total care options. (more information at oaksofla.com)
Innovative technology, coupled with compassionate care for patients and the community, have made Willis-Knighton the region’s preferred hospital and a healthcare leader in the state and nationally.
The hospital has brought a number of “firsts” to Northwest Louisiana in eye surgery, heart care and cancer care. Continuing in that tradition, the Willis-Knighton Heart & Vascular Institute has opened the first hybrid room to support a multidisciplinary approach to heart care. The Willis-Knighton Cancer Center is a world leader in image-guided radiation therapy, pioneering techniques in TomoTherapy. That has position made it an ideal site for the addition of a proton beam therapy center, currently under construction.
The health system is locally-owned and locally operated, which means that people who make major healthcare decisions for healthcare in the community live and work in the community. Willis-Knighton is a philanthropic anchor of the community through its “tithe the bottom line” philosophy of philanthropy. The health system donates back to worthwhile community organizations and projects every year, far exceeding the contribution of the local United Way. (This does not include its contributions for charity care or indigent care clinics.)
