Lourdes opened its doors on August 1, 1949. It opened as a modest 50-bed hospital with 15 bassinets for infants. Throughout its more than 50-year history it has undergone many physical changes. But as the hospital?s services grew, so has its reputation as a caring, healing facility marked by medical excellence.
Today, Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center, is Acadiana?s market share leader for Cardiology, Oncology/Cancer Care and General Medical Services. Our Lady of Lourdes has been named to the 100 Top Hospitals in America for Cardiovascular Services, to the 100 Top Hospitals in America for Orthopedic Services, and to the US News & World Report Top 50 Hospitals in America for Rheumatology and Respiratory Services. They have an outstanding medical staff representing most medical specialties, assisted by friendly, caring, mission-centered employees.
