As part of Oakdale Community Hospital's continuing mission to provide quality health care to our community, we've begun a community education outreach program. The staff of the hospital will strive to bring the residents of Allen Parish free education programs that will enable them to make informed decisions about their health care and focus on preventative measures everyone can take to maintain their good health. Oakdale Community Hospital staff members are available to speak to community groups on a wide range of health-related topics free of charge. The classes are held at Oakdale Community Hospital's Wellness Center .
Yoga is a fun and wonderful way for seniors to maintain their flexibility.
While Oakdale Community Hospital takes pride in this achievement of excellence, it serves as a reminder that its greatest resource is its people. Oakdale Community Hospital continues to provide quality healthcare to residents of Allen Parish. Oakdale Community Hospital Laboratory is one of the more than 6,000 CAP-accredited laboratories nationwide. The CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program, begun in the early 1960's, is recognized by the federal government as being equal to or more stringent than the government's own inspection program. Inspectors examine the records and quality control of the laboratory for the preceding two years, as well as the education and qualifications of the total staff, the adequacy of the facilities, the equipment, laboratory safety, and laboratory management to determine how well the laboratory is serving the patient.
