Under the leadership of CEO Greg Stock, Thibodaux Regional Medical Center has soared. The hospital has achieved countless awards, including the 2018 Press Ganey Guardian of Excellence Award for Outpatient Services, the 2018 Healthgrades Outstanding Patient Experience Award, the 2018 Women’s Choice Award for America’s Best Hospital for Obstetrics and many others. The hospital has also expanded significantly, growing in both its services and outreach to the community. Two years ago, Thibodaux Regional Medical Center opened its Wellness Center and since that time, thousands of locals have used the facility to stay active. In the coming years, Thibodaux Regional will open a new, state-of-the-art cancer center in an effort to again change the local medical landscape.
