FROM THE CEO:

To the patients, family, friends and communities which Oakdale Community Hospital (OCH) serves:

With great pleasure, I recently accepted the opportunity to fill the role of Chief Executive Officer at Oakdale Community Hospital (OCH). Our main goal is to help facilitate the delivery of quality healthcare to the community and surrounding areas of Oakdale, Louisiana.  I want to extend a sincere thank you for the support provided to me by the dedicated, hard-working staff at OCH and the surrounding communities.  My work experience includes various nursing roles in direct patient care and supervision, as well as administrative positions within our parent company, Allegiance Health Management (AHM).  My education includes a Masters Degree in Healthcare Administration (MHA) from LSU-Shreveport and Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing (BSN) from Northwestern State University.

Over the years, I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to work at many types of hospitals across the region.  In doing so, I realize that at Oakdale Community Hospital we have a great group of compassionate people who work together to put the needs of others ahead of their own. Our focus at OCH is to treat each patient that arrives at our hospital as family. I expect nothing less than exceptional care for my family, and that is also our goal for each patient we serve at OCH.

Healthcare is constantly changing.  Here at Oakdale Community Hospital, we want to make sure we are providing the best care possible to you and your family. On behalf of the exceptional staff here at OCH, we would like to thank you for your continued support of the hospital and local community.  Please join us and experience the great care that OCH has to offer.

Sincerely,

Kevin Ardoin, CEO
