The hospital is positioned as the primary community acute care provider for the Westbank region of Jefferson Parish.

Leadership is headed by President and CEO Garett May.

West Jefferson's business model is a non-profit fee-for-service community hospital with revenue generated primarily through clinical service delivery (inpatient, outpatient, emergency, ancillary) reimbursed by insurance, Medicare/Medicaid, and self-pay patients. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; patients are directed to billing, accepted insurance, and financial assistance resources. Distribution is regional (Louisiana only) and direct, with no resale or platform intermediation. Recent recognition includes an A Hospital Safety Grade, a regional Best Hospital for Maternity Care designation, and participation in the DAISY Award nursing recognition program.
