The Times-Picayune and The New Orleans Advocate Names St. Bernard Parish Hospital a Winner of the Greater New Orleans Top Workplaces 2022 Award

Chalmette, Louisiana, June 27, 2022 – St. Bernard Parish Hospital (SBPH) has been awarded a Top Workplaces 2022 honor by New Orleans Top Workplaces. The list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage LLC. The anonymous survey uniquely measures 15 culture drivers that are critical to the success of any organization, including alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few.

"At St. Bernard Parish Hospital, our core values of patients first, compassion, integrity, inclusivity, excellence and teamwork are ingrained throughout all facets of the hospital and in everything we do. With these values always at the forefront, there is a spirit of empathy among our employees for not only patients, but also their fellow coworkers," explained Kim Keene, chief executive officer, St. Bernard Parish Hospital. "Our employees are the reason for this recognition. The culture at St. Bernard Parish Hospital is one of collaboration and support, which is evident through the compassionate care administered to patients."

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and even during hurricanes and tornados, SBPH employees continued to deliver high-quality and dedicated care to community members. Since 2017, Ochsner Health and SBPH have been healthcare partners, bringing increased access to healthcare to St. Bernard Parish. The partnership has brought more physicians, care options and treatments to residents in the community. Investment have been made in capital improvements, new equipment, education, and professional development opportunities. These investments help engage an energetic workforce and ensure SBPH is successfully equipped to continue its mission of caring for patients in hopes of making the community a healthier place.

"During this very challenging time, Top Workplaces has proven to be a beacon of light for organizations, as well as a sign of resiliency and strong business performance," said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. "When you give your employees a voice, you come together to navigate challenges and shape your path forward. Top Workplaces draw on real-time insights into what works best for their organization, so they can make informed decisions that have a positive impact on their people and their business."

SBPH is located at 8000 West Judge Perez Drive in Chalmette. It includes 40 private rooms, a 10-bed emergency department and full diagnostic imaging capability. For more information, visit ochsner.org/sbph.
