Community Outreach Services
We believe our responsibility as a healthcare organization extends beyond the walls of our hospitals and clinics with a focus on prevention and early detection of health problems. To that end, our Community Outreach program offers the following:
- Speakers Bureau. We can arrange speakers for community groups. Please submit a speaker request at least 60 days in advance of your event. Click here to submit your speaker request online.
- Health Fairs. We are available for community health fairs open to the public and serving a wide range of people. Please submit a health fair request at least 90 days in advance of the event. Click here to submit your health fair request online.
- Programs and Events at Our Locations. We offer a variety of programs and events at our locations. Please review our offerings by clicking here or in the Willis-Knighton community calendar which is published monthly in 318Forum, a free distribution publication available at businesses throughout the community.
- Shots for Tots. Shots for Tots is a free mobile immunization program for children. Dates are listed at on our website and in 318Forum, Shreveport Sun and Bossier Press-Tribune.
- Meeting Space. Meeting space on our hospital campuses may be made available to qualified health-affiliated groups Monday-Friday. Community event space is also available at the WK Innovation Center in Bossier City and WK Palmetto Clubhouse in Benton (former Palmetto Country Club). Complete a Request for Meeting Space at least 90 days in advance of your event. Willis-Knighton provides space only and does not include equipment or food service. Click here to submit your meeting space request online.
This in-kind support is generally restricted to not-for-profit charitable organizations. Due to time and expense of staffing, preference is given to (1) healthcare focused groups or programs and (2) groups with 25 or more participants.
- Promotional Products: Due to increased cost of promotional products, Willis-Knighton generally provides these only at events sponsored by Willis-Knighton.
