Our hospital values guide us in all that we do: Respect, Innovation, Compassion and Excellence. A values-based culture and focus on communication, shared governance, work environment and role satisfaction are teamed with traditional satisfiers of pay, benefits, training and development to maintain high le...vels of engagement. What sets Woman’s apart is a culture that gives employees a voice.

As the 17th largest delivery service in the U.S. and the largest in Louisiana, Woman’s Hospital singlehandedly moves the needle in a state that lags behind in health outcomes, making employees proud to live Woman’s values daily and work toward our mission to improve the health of women and infants.
