Our Lady Of The Lake Health: Celebrating 100 years of commitment to the Greater Baton Rouge community

Established in 1923 in the river town of Baton Rouge, Our Lady of the Lake began its legacy of healing for the families of this region. Today, Our Lady of the Lake Health offers the most advanced comprehensive healthcare in the capital area.

In the tradition of its founders, the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady, Our Lady of the Lake has gone where called, responding to the needs of the community, especially those most in need. The Catholic healthcare ministry’s commitment to the community will continue to be its driving force as it looks to the future of healthcare in the region.

“We will build upon the work done for the community over the past 100 years with planned strategic investments in technology, security and infrastructure to provide new and innovative ways of meeting healthcare needs,” says Chuck Spicer, Our Lady of the Lake Health president. “The full extent of new technology will be leveraged to ensure quality and safe care for those entrusted to us for their healthcare needs.”

Our Lady of the Lake is committed to the highest standards of quality care with cutting-edge medical technology and an emphasis on listening to heal. “We believe a big part of healthcare is hearing our patients,” Spicer says. “Through listening we can understand what’s going on, what good health means to each person, and most importantly, how we can heal.”

The mission of Our Lady of the Lake Health has always been to respond to the community’s greatest needs. In 1923, the need was a hospital. Since then, the need has been for the hospital to grow into a regional presence and provide the most up-to-date technology and healthcare right here in the Greater Baton Rouge region.
