For 115 years, our ministry has served the Gulf South with faith, compassion and clinical excellence. In 2025, we made that strength unmistakable.
We aligned under one name: FMOL Health, the Gulf South’s leading Catholic healthcare system and a close to $5 billion nonprofit organization serving Louisiana and Mississippi with more than 20,000 team members.
This is not simply a rebrand. It’s clarity. By bringing FMOL Health | Our Lady of the Lake, FMOL Health | Our Lady of Lourdes, FMOL Health | St. Dominic and FMOL Health | St. Francis together under an aligned identity, we made visible what has long been true: many markets, one mission.
“We are now FMOL Health because our communities deserve to see the strength behind the care they already trust,” says President and CEO E.J. Kuiper. “We are one connected system delivering the best care possible.”
That connection means coordinated specialties, aligned physician networks, shared innovation and smarter investment across regions, so patients experience seamless care whether they are in Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Monroe or Jackson.

REGIONAL MOMENTUM
In 2025, FMOL Health advanced specialty care, expanded academic partnerships and strengthened nationally recognized programs across markets.
At FMOL Health | Our Lady of the Lake, that momentum included expanded complex oncology services, growth in sports medicine partnerships and continued investment in advanced technologies that position the Capital Region as a healthcare destination.
“The Gulf South is entering an important chapter,” Kuiper says. “We are investing in the infrastructure, talent and partnerships that ensure our communities have access to world-class care close to home.”
INVESTING IN PEOPLE
Clinical excellence depends on people.
Across markets, FMOL Health expanded graduate medical education programs, strengthened FranU and other academic partnerships and advanced workforce initiatives designed to build durable talent pipelines.
And now, that commitment to people has earned national recognition. FMOL Health has received the Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award for both employee engagement and strengths development, placing the organization among the most engaged workplace cultures in the world.
“Our people are how we make healthcare different,” Kuiper says. “This recognition reflects a culture where team members feel valued, heard and empowered to lead.”
ROOTED IN FAITH. DRIVEN BY EXCELLENCE.
FMOL Health serves more than half of Louisiana’s population through a network of hospitals, clinics and more than 1,100 physicians extending the healing ministry of Jesus Christ through compassionate, expert care for all.
In 2025, we didn’t simply grow. We connected. We strengthened. We made clear who we are. Your health, our calling. This is how we healthcare.
From the President & CEO
This past year confirmed something I’ve long believed: when people are united by mission, extraordinary things happen.
Our team members across Louisiana and Mississippi show up each day with skill, compassion and faith. Being recognized by Gallup affirms what I see every day—a ministry powered by people who care deeply about one another and the communities we serve.
As we move forward at FMOL Health, our focus remains clear: expand access, elevate excellence and ensure every person we serve feels seen, valued and cared for.
Non Excidet!
