Message From The CEO

Welcome to the website for Minden Medical Center. It is a privilege to provide healthcare services to more than 70,000 people in the southern portion of Webster Parish and surrounding community.

Healthcare is judged by the quality and compassion of those who provide the care and the setting in which it is provided.  The staff at Minden Medical Center are dedicated to providing personalized, caring, quality-oriented and cost-effective healthcare.  The hospital offers the kinds of services found in many larger medical facilities, but with the warmth and caring found in a close-knit community.

Minden Medical Center is a 161-bed acute care hospital housed in a modern facility, originally established in 1926.  We are accredited by the Joint Commission and approved by Medicare, Medicaid and Blue Cross for participation.

We offer a wide range of services, including cardiology, orthopaedics and sports medicine, emergency service, ambulatory surgery, pediatrics, OB/GYN, laboratory, diagnostic x-ray, cardiopulmonary, nuclear medicine, CT scanning, MRI, oncology, and a full range of rehab services with physical, speech, and occupational therapy.

Our medical staff consists of general surgeons, OB/GYNs, pediatricians, family practitioners, urologists, orthopedic surgeons, otolaryngologists (ENT), internal medicine, nephrologist, podiatrist and foot and ankle surgeon. Ophthalmology, Rheumatology, our baby place, behavioral health services, oncology services, and home health agency.  Each of these complement our acute care offerings and provide a way for patients to receive care close to home.

Minden Medical Center offers specialized services and compassionate personal attention and caring that comes with being part of a community-based hospital.  Patients entrust us with their healthcare, whether it is a focus on wellness, healing or end of life transition.  We want you to know we are here for you.  You as a patient, family, friend and our community deserve for all of our staff – all positions, all shifts, all locations and settings – to bring our best talents, skills and best efforts each day.  I am here to help support our hospital team in making that happen.

Sincerely,

Keith Cox, Chief Executive Officer
