Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center has been named the 2025 “Hospital of the Year” in the 200+ beds category by the Louisiana Society for Respiratory Care (LSRC). This award was presented at the LSRC’s 53rd Annual Conference.
The LSRC Hospital of the Year Award honors healthcare institutions that “demonstrate outstanding performance in patient care, staff development, and community outreach.” Criteria include the percentage of staff with Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) credentials, use of therapist-driven protocols, blood gas lab efficiency, staff retention, and involvement in community health initiatives.
“This recognition affirms the dedication of our entire team to delivering the highest standard of care,” said Chuck Spicer, president of Our Lady of the Lake Health. “It also reflects our unwavering commitment to the mission on which we were founded: extending the healing ministry of Jesus Christ through patient-centered care for those who need it most. And our respiratory therapy professionals play a vital role in helping us deliver on this commitment to compassionate care every day.”
