History Of Baton Rouge Gen Med Center
Since the early 1900s when our hospital's founder, Dr. T. P. Singletary, first treated patients at a building on the corner of Florida and Fourth Street, bringing high quality health care to the people of Baton Rouge has been the driving force behind everything we do. It continues to be our primary focus today.
Baton Rouge General was created by the community, for the community:
· physicians committed to providing quality care by bringing diverse resources
and skills together under one roof;
· community leaders who recognized the need to make healthcare available to all
citizens and were willing to contribute the necessary financial resources to
support this ideal; and
· caregivers dedicated to providing compassionate quality care and support to
patients and their families.
Because of the high incidence of heart disease, cancer and stroke, we've become one of Louisiana's leading hospitals for the successful treatment of these conditions.
Because no other hospital offered specialized treatment for burns, we developed what is now one of few burn treatment centers in the Southern U.S.
Because every hospital deserves a great medical staff, we're training current and future healthcare professionals in the latest technology and practices at our Residency programs and our School of Nursing.
Going forward, we will continue to identify ways in which the health of our community can be improved through education, prevention and timely access to quality care.
