Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center
In a given year, Our Lady of the Lake treats approximately 35,000 patients in the hospital, and serves about 350,000 persons through outpatient locations. Established in 1923 by the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady, the Lake continues to set the standard for quality patient care and nurse excellence. 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.
