Three things to know:

1. The 33-physician Louisiana Women's Healthcare in Baton Rouge signed a definitive agreement to become part of Ochsner, according to a March 19 press release

2. The organizations said the deal will focus on improved outcomes and greater digital offerings for LWH's patients in the Baton Rouge region, including expanded access to telehealth offerings, digital medical records through Ochsner's Epic platform and online scheduling.

3. LWH's physicians delivered more than 5,000 babies in 2020 and care for 70,000 women annually. Under the deal, LWH deliveries, surgeries and patient appointments will still take place at LWH's campus at the Woman's Hospital in Baton Rouge.
