The James K. Elrod Innovation Center has been created on the site of the former Bossier Medical Center. This property, which borders Airline Drive and Shed Road, showcases innovation of Willis-Knighton Health System, the region’s most forward-thinking health provider.

By renovating much of the existing structure, Willis-Knighton has brought new life and purpose to a building that had been neglected for too long. Executives and planners sought to demonstrate respect for the legacy of the former hospital and the citizens of Bossier City whose tax dollars paid for the original building and its additions over the years.
