Iberia Medical Center Is a Birth Ready Facility…Once Again

March 26, 2025

The Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) and the Louisiana Perinatal Quality Collaborative (LaPQC) have once again named Iberia Medical Center as a Birth Ready hospital. This recognition is awarded to hospitals that have committed to quality improvement practices aimed at improving birth outcomes for mothers in Louisiana.


As a ‘Birth Ready’ facility, Iberia Medical Center is equipped to detect complications early on and improve outcomes for both mothers and babies. For over 60 years, Iberia Medical Center has delivered quality care to expecting mothers in the community. This recognition acknowledges evidence-based practices that contribute to the overall wellbeing of mothers and babies.


“This program recognition is important to not only the hospital, but the community as well. Our commitment to implementing policies and procedures that allow us to detect and treat conditions before they become life threatening is something we prioritize as the leading healthcare provider in the community” says Dionne Viator, CEO.


This award marks the third year in a row that Iberia Medical has achieved this recognition.
