Mission Statement


Southwest Health Group, LLC (SWHG) management and partners have a combined 140 years of experience in partnering with physicians and other healthcare professionals in developing and operating modern, state-of-the art medical and surgical facilities.  SWHG’s management team has both depth and diversity in the healthcare industry.  Our medical industry experience dates back more than three decades in which time we have developed or acquired more than 130 hospitals and surgical centers, working for privately held and publicly traded corporations.

 As an example, Southwest Health Group’s management team, in conjunction with its physician partners, opened Southern Surgical Hospital in Slidell, Louisiana in 2005.  Due to the development and organizational planning prior to opening, from the first month of operation the surgical specialty facility was profitable and delivered superior healthcare to the Northshore of Lake Ponchartrain.  Southern Surgical continues in a growth mode.

 Due to the experience of its partners, Southwest Health Group’s strengths include assessing healthcare needs of local communities, smoothly implementing the delivery system primarily determined by the physician partners, and long term experience with select, quality vendors.
