Our Lady of the Lake Team Members Honored

Thirty-three team members of Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center and its subsidiary campuses in the Baton Rouge market, as well as FranU, were honored at a reception held at the Renaissance Hotel on Nov. 3. Each received the Franciscan Service Award in the year preceding the reception. Lillian Tate, a nursing director at the regional medical center and a team member for more than 25 years, was also recognized with the Mother Gertrude Leadership Award.

The Mother Gertrude Leadership Award is presented annually to a team member who models visionary leadership, just and right relationships, and advocates for change and sustainability of the ministry while mentoring the next generation of leaders.

The Franciscan Service Award (FSA) is the highest form of recognition sponsored by the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady, the sisters that sponsor the institutions of the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System, including Our Lady of the Lake, its affiliated organizations, and FranU. FSA recognition in the Baton Rouge region has been ongoing since 1992. Since then, nearly 550 Our Lady of the Lake and subsidiary team members were recognized as FSA recipients. The Franciscan Service Award is bestowed on select individuals who exhibit gifts and talents that truly reflect the meaning of the Franciscan Missionaries' core values and service standards.

“Throughout our market, Our Lady of the Lake is blessed with some amazing team members who embody the core values of our organization and inspire other team members to serve with compassion in living out our mission to serve those most in need,” said Market President Chuck Spicer. “We congratulate each of these team members for leading the way in providing the Spirit of Healing.”
