A Message from Bishop Michael Jarrell
Diocese of Lafayette

"Health care at Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center offers the best in technology, experience and professional concern. Like other Catholic health care facilities, it also offers a unique religious environment to aid in the restoration of physical health and is animated by a philosophy and theology that go back through the centuries. Jesus presented healing as a special sign of His mission. In the Scriptural perspective, health means wholeness, not only physical but also spiritual and psychological wholeness. Comittment to continuing the healing mission of Jesus Christ makes Our Lady of Lourdes the place of healing and wholeness that it is."
