As Willis Knighton Health marks its 100th year of service to the Northwest Louisiana community, it has announced a refreshed brand identity and renewed commitment to providing leading-edge healthcare for the next century.
The organization, also known as WK, has streamlined its name, dropping “System” to reinforce its dedication to health and reflect its unwavering mission centered on Northwest Louisiana. The familiar burgundy red logo of WK remains, now imbued with a lighter and brighter aesthetic, symbolizing a fresh chapter in its storied history.

As the region’s largest healthcare provider, Willis Knighton Health is not only a cornerstone of the local economy, providing jobs and support to businesses and banks, but it also draws national recognition for its award-winning care.
