Our Mission in Action

For nearly 100 years, Our Lady of the Lake has provided faith-based, quality, and compassionate care to the people of the Capital Area.

You know us for our comprehensive range of healthcare services. You trust our physician group for your primary care and specialty needs. But, did you know we are part of a century-old mission led by the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady to provide for the needs of the people in the communities that we serve?

More Than Healthcare. Our Mission.
We are privileged to serve you and your loved ones when in need of healing. We also dedicate ourselves to important programs that go beyond providing healthcare. They are the tangible work carried out in living our mission and are at the heart of what our healthcare ministry is called to do. Below are a few examples of this important work.

  • Sponsorship of Cristo Rey High School
  • Health centers in schools
  • Housing assistance for senior citizens
  • Haiti Mission
  • Assistance for those disabled by HIV/AIDS
  • Assistance for those with substance abuse problems
