Covington, Louisiana – We proudly announce that AVALA was named a Great Community Hospital by Becker’s Hospital Review in August. The hospitals featured are known for clinical excellence, compassionate care, the economic impact on their communities, and more. Top-ranking and award agencies have honored many of these hospitals for their stellar patient outcomes and performance in specialty care services.
Community hospitals are vital to the overall healthcare system, expanding care access to patients who might otherwise need to travel great distances or face other barriers to care. While some hospitals serve large rural areas, others care for smaller suburban communities.
AVALA is a physician-owned and patient-focused local health network with a 21-bed hospital, diagnostic imaging, physical and hand therapy, physician clinics, and urgent orthopedic care. Serving the community is what we do – going above and beyond our commitment to helping people and restoring trust within healthcare. Our expertise helps expand care access to patients who would otherwise face barriers such as cost or distance. This list celebrates AVALA’s dedication to optimizing healthcare, and Becker’s Healthcare is thrilled to highlight these hospitals and their achievements.
AVALA is proud to be one of only 150 hospitals in the United States to be named a Great Community Hospital by Becker’s Healthcare. The award is a testament to AVALA’s commitment to providing excellent patient and community care.
