Lane Regional Medical Center was named "2021 Acute Care Hospital of the Year" (61-160 beds) by the Louisiana Nurses Foundation and the Louisiana State Nurses Association to recognize excellence in nursing and quality service in the nursing and healthcare industry.
It is the third time Lane has received this award.
The Nightingale Award for Acute Care Hospital of the Year is based on four criteria:
- innovation through nursing leadership and management within the hospital
- organizational initiatives supportive of nursing practices
- evidence of registered nurse decision making and participation in management decisions
- recognition of registered nurse achievements and support of nursing participation in professional organizations
“Once again we are very proud of this recognition,” said Staci Sullivan, Chief Nursing Officer. “We have an exceptional group of professionals who work at Lane, and it is rewarding to see their efforts acknowledged on a statewide level.”
