Iberia Medical Center PROMISE Award Presented

November 4, 2025

Friends and team members gathered on Monday, November 3, 2025 to present Gwen Politte, Environmental Services team member, with the Iberia Medical Center PROMISE Award. 


Gwen was nominated as she exemplifies the PROMISE standards in the way she conducts herself daily. She is professional and always on time. She shows ownership daily in how she takes care of her 4th floor, not only in the cleaning but also in how she interacts with the clinical staff. She manages up her department and follows safety protocols to keep herself and others safe.


When it comes to excellence, this is where Gwen sets herself apart from others. Gwen has a special gift for interacting with patients, employees and visitors. Every morning when she announces herself to a patient room for cleaning, she comes in singing praises and lighting up the room. Patients and visitors respond with appreciation for her vibrancy.


The PROMISE Award is designed to honor the exceptional contributions of our non-clinical staff members who play a crucial role to ensure the optimal functionality of our healthcare facility. Whether it is through administrative support, hospitality services, or any other non-clinical role, this award celebrates individuals who exemplify the core values of our organization and contribute to the overall success of our team.

Covid-19 Vaccine Distribution: Allocations from the State

Iberia Medical Center continues its effort to manage and administer Covid-19 vaccine allocations.

IMC vaccine coordinating efforts are solely dependent on the amount of doses that the state allocates to IMC. Additionally, vaccine distribution from the state is extremely limited this week and may impact appointments. 

For seniors already on the IMC wait list, this delay of vaccines from the state may impact when appointments are communicated.  IMC staff is working diligently to log requests for the vaccine and manage scheduling. 

Seniors 70+ on on the IMC wait list will only be contacted as supply becomes available.  Eligible patients will be contacted in the order of receipt of wait list request.

Iberia Parish residents 70 years and older who are not yet on the wait list are being asked to send their name, date of birth,address, phone number and family medicine physician to covid19@iberiamedicalcenter.com . Only patients with appointments will be accommodated, and patients unsure they are medically able to receive the vaccine are encouraged to contact their family physician. Patients who submit information will not need to take any further action. 

IMC will continue to follow Tier 1 guidelines and vaccinate individuals who qualify. We appreciate the positive feedback from our community as to the rollout of this initiative.
