From clinical to non-clinical, at Our Lady of the Lake we are a team on a mission to deliver compassionate care to everyone, especially those most in need, by promoting health, wellness and spiritual wholeness. We are committed to serving our community and patients with a dedication to continual improvement, innovation, first-class technology and our award-winning staff.
Our Mission
Inspired by the vision of St. Francis of Assisi and in the tradition of the Roman Catholic Church, we extend the healing ministry of Jesus Christ to God’s people, especially those most in need.
We call forth all who serve in this healthcare ministry, to share their gifts and talents to create a spirit of healing-with reverence and love for all of life, with joyfulness of spirit, and with humility and justice for all those entrusted to our care.
We are with God's help, a healing and spiritual presence for each other and for the communities we are privileged to serve.

“I'm a pulmonary critical care physician. This is my first pandemic, on top of an epidemic we've been through, I worked through the H1N1 and also the Ebola scare and all of the hurricanes since Katrina. So some experience with this chaos, this one is a little more chaotic than previous just because this is a new and novel infection and it behaves differently for us. So this is truly one where the learning is as we go and the information coming in is fast and furious and we're having to adjust on the fly.”
