Our Lady of the Lake Health provides care for a full range of illness or injury, including those that are extremely complex, for both pediatric and adult patients. We are a nonprofit, Catholic healthcare ministry based in Baton Rouge with more than 7,500 employees and more than 2,900 active physicians, including more than 600 employed physicians.
We are committed to building a healthy community through excellence in patient care and education. Being our best earns us the trust and loyalty of our community, and our culture of excellence is directly tied to our mission. We believe in the value of receiving a broad range of healthcare from one trusted provider, and we pursue and provide a comprehensive range of advanced programs, treatments and technologies.
Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System is the leading health innovator in Louisiana and Mississippi and a regional destination for healthcare access. We bring together the top clinicians, advanced technology and innovative research to ensure our patients receive the highest quality and most comprehensive care possible.
This commitment is grounded in a history more than 100 years old but reflective of our forward-thinking strategic vision aimed at transforming healthcare.
As a nonprofit, mission-focused Catholic healthcare ministry, we provide a compassionate circle of care to everyone while giving special attention to those most in need. The care we administer is driven by listening to our patients and putting their needs first. Through listening, we can truly understand what’s going on, hear what the patient’s goals are, and most importantly, discover together how we can help.
Since our founding, we’ve grown to become one of the largest health systems in the region, providing care to almost half of Louisiana, and serving Mississippi's largest metropolitan area in Jackson.
Within the regions we serve, we operate major hospitals as well as dozens of community clinics and specialty centers to care for patients with a wide range of illnesses and health needs. Because of our size and strategic partnerships with local organizations, we can pool resources, share costs, learn from each other and be more efficient, thereby accelerating our ability to improve care and solve challenges.
Following in the footsteps of the Franciscan Sisters and looking to the future of our healthcare ministry, we chart our course by “going where we are called.”

TOP important and interesting reviews from patients
- Our Lady of the Lake Hospital has TOTALLY changed my mind about a hospital.
Excellent care and super clean rooms. It was like the bad employees had been removed and replaced with respectable ones. My 3 day hospital stay was really above and beyond excellent. Highly recommended by me if you are having to determine which hospital to go to.
- My husband had to have surgery, for Eagle syndrome The surgical waiting area has tea and coffee available. The staff was sweet and informative throughout my husband’s surgery and recovery time. His staff of doctors and nurses were phenomenal they made sure both he and I were comfortable, my husband had to stay overnight.
- The date is 8/4/23. Even though my need for a PET SCAN to determine whether or not I have lung cancer was my reason to visit OLOL HOSPITAL today, the staff always has made me feel safe and very well cared for. Today was no different. Dale was my X-RAY tech and he couldn’t have been any sweeter. Miss Haly was also a welcomed ray of sunshine! I thank God and for His generosity in bringing His sweetest souls into my life. God is truly amazing.
