Build the practice you trained for, without the call.
WK's outpatient neurology clinic declines around 100 referrals a week because demand has outgrown capacity. A dedicated neurohospitalist program handles all inpatient and after-hours coverage, so the incoming neurologist focuses entirely on building an outpatient practice. The greatest unmet needs are in memory care, movement disorders, and neuromuscular disease, and the referral base to support a subspecialty focus is already there from day one.
Willis-Knighton has served the Shreveport-Bossier region for more than 100 years and holds over 55% inpatient market share as the only major independent, not-for-profit system in the area. Four acute care hospitals, 150+ clinics, a world-class cancer program, Mayo Clinic partnership, and five GME residency programs give physicians the infrastructure of a large academic center with the autonomy and administrative support of a physician-friendly community system. WK is the third largest employer in the region and has never been subject to the outside consolidation that has reshaped healthcare in comparable markets.
Shreveport delivers Southern living at a fraction of the cost of larger metros, with home prices more than 50 percent below the national median, a 19-minute average commute, and year-round access to lakes, outdoor recreation, and one of Louisiana's most active festival and arts calendars. Families find strong private school options, established neighborhoods, and a faith community woven deeply into daily life.
