Lake Charles Memorial Hospital Launches "Mission Move Well" with Arjo MOVE Program to Advance Patient and Staff Safety

LAKE CHARLES, La., Sept. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lake Charles Memorial Hospital proudly announces the official launch of its Arjo MOVE program, embraced by employees and staff as "Mission Move Well: Where Every Move is Part of the Mission," beginning June 16, 2025. This initiative demonstrates the hospital's commitment to achieving its mission of zero injuries for both patients and caregivers.

The Arjo MOVE (Mobility Outcome Value Engagement) program is a proven, evidence-based strategy designed to promote safer mobility practices within healthcare settings. MOVE empowers clinical teams with the tools, training, and support to assess patient mobility and match it with appropriate equipment and techniques. By improving mobility practices, hospitals see fewer staff injuries, enhanced patient outcomes, and more efficient care delivery.

"Lake Charles Memorial is committed to maintaining an environment where safety is embedded in every action we take," said Gerald Bryant, Chief Nursing Officer of Lake Charles Memorial Health System. "Mission Move Well reflects our dedication to making every patient aided movement safe and dignified. Arjo MOVE provides the framework we need to protect both our patients and our incredible team."

The MOVE program aligns seamlessly with Lake Charles Memorial Hospital's organizational objectives: to foster a culture of safety, reduce preventable injuries, and ensure a high standard of compassionate, evidence-based care. With the launch of "Mission Move Well," the hospital will standardize mobility protocols, increase equipment utilization, and drive continuous staff education-all vital components of their zero-injury goal.

"Throughout our health system, we believe that any investment in patient safety is not just worthwhile, but critical to proving the quality care that our community expects and deserves," added Devon Hyde, Chief Executive Officer of Lake Charles Memorial Health System. "With Mission Move Well, we're putting action behind our words. Every move our team makes is intentional, informed, and in service of safety."

The program's launch on June 16 will include team-wide training sessions, leadership engagement activities, and a kickoff celebration recognizing staff who exemplify the spirit of Mission Move Well.
