A game changer in healthcare in the Shreveport-Bossier City area, as Willis Knighton Health has joined the Mayo Clinic Care Network. Dr. Lane Rosen, the medical director of radiation-oncology at Willis Knighton, says The Mayo Clinic has very strict standards in choosing the medical facilities it chooses to partner with.
“There are places that can just purchase a name. That is not the way Mayo Clinic does it. They’re very selective, and we’re very proud that they selected Willis Knighton,” Rosen said.
Dr. Rosen says the partnership with The Mayo Clinic will allow Willis Knighton to take its services to the next level.
“We have tremendous expertise already here at Willis Knighton, but to have a nationally recognized center of excellence, it’s sort of like an available brother when you need them. It’s just huge,” Rosen said.
Rosen says the partnership gives Willis Knighton’s patients the nationwide resources of The Mayo Clinic at no additional charge.
“You can actually ask very specific questions, and a person who specializes in that particular question will be assigned to respond. You’ll get that consultation back, typically in about five to seven days,” Rosen explained.
