Terrebonne General Women’s Health Center was awarded Louisiana Birth Ready Designation by the Louisiana Perinatal Quality Collaborative (LaPQC). This honor distinguishes that Terrebonne General's birthing facility worked hard to implement and sustain the necessary processes, policies, and educational structures to ensure safe, equitable, and dignified births for all families. For patients, this means the Terrebonne General Women's Health Center uses the best evidence-based practices and is highly involved in the quality of our patient's care.
