Our Lady of the Lake Ascension

Our Lady of the Lake Ascension has proudly served the people of Ascension Parish for nearly four decades.  Our commitment to the people of Ascension extends beyond our full-service hospital and our 11 affiliated clinics throughout the parish.  We work in Ascension.  We live in Ascension. We participate in and support numerous community and civic organizations including the Ascension Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, Volunteer Ascension, Ascension Parish Office of Homeland Security, Leadership Ascension, Ascension schools and athletics. Our doctors and staff are your neighbors, your kids’ soccer coaches, and fellow churchgoers.

No matter where receive care from us, you have seamless access from providers you know and trust, each connected by your up-to-date medical information through our single health record. This ensures each provider you see is aware of your health history.

Your medical record is also instantly accessible should you need care at Our Lady of the Lake Ascension, formerly St. Elizabeth Hospital, or even advanced trauma care at Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center just up I-10.

Our mission leads us to help Ascension lead happy, healthy lives.  Just as Ascension has continued to grow and become a destination to live, work, and play, we continue to grow with it just as we always have.
