Willis-Knighton Hospital saw over 5,000 cases of heart failure this past year, with many of their patients going on to lead healthy, productive lives. It's their care of heart patients that recently earned them the nation's top ranking for saving the lives of heart failure patients.

The Reverend Murphy Hunt is passionate about his sermons at Shreveport's Morning Star Missionary Baptist Church. But although preaching at the pulpit makes him tired from time to time, it wasn't what sent him to the hospital.

 

Reverend Hunt was suffering from an irregular heartbeat and congestive heart failure. A condition that brought him into Willis-Knighton Hospital where he eventually received a pacemaker. Just one of the many lives saved at willis knighton from heart failure.

But recently, patient's like hunt and Willis-Knighton Hospital learned that the facility was the top in the country when it came to saving patients from heart failure.

Willis-Knighton made national headlines for having the lowest death rate for heart failure last year at 6.7%.
