Christus Health Shreveport-Bossier Opens New West Wing

Christus Health Shreveport-Bossier celebrated the official ribbon cutting of the new West Wing addition at Christus Health on Bert Kouns.

The West Wing is an expansion of services and facilities to the Highland campus, funded by a $60 million investment. “Today is a true milestone in our ministry,” Isaac Palmer, Christus Health Shreveport-Bossier Chief Executive Officer, said. “The West Wing is proof that Christus Health is committed to this community and that we are here to stay.

"We are not only celebrating the opening of the West Wing. We celebrate our expansion into Bossier; we celebrate the wound care and breast center who are housed at the Specialty Care Center. We celebrate our Associates, medical staff, volunteers, and our community who have supported us and understand our vision of bringing health care to where people live and work."

The $60 million investment is comprised of $55 million from the Christus Health system office and an additional $5 million was donated by the local Christus Foundation.

The West Wing will be home to the Cancer Treatment Center (first floor), hospital pharmacy (first floor), The Birth Place/Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (second floor), Acute Comprehensive Inpatient Rehab (third floor), and other office and conference space.
