Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System is the leading health innovator in Louisiana and Mississippi and a regional destination for healthcare access. We bring together the top clinicians, advanced technology and innovative research to ensure our patients receive the highest quality and most comprehensive care possible.

This commitment is grounded in a history more than 100 years old but reflective of our forward-thinking strategic vision aimed at transforming healthcare.

As a nonprofit, mission-focused Catholic healthcare ministry, we provide a compassionate circle of care to everyone  while giving special attention to those most in need. The care we administer is driven by listening to our patients and putting their needs first. Through listening, we can truly understand what’s going on, hear what the patient’s goals are, and most importantly, discover together how we can help.

Since our founding, we’ve grown to become one of the largest health systems in the region, providing care to almost half of Louisiana, and serving Mississippi's largest metropolitan area in Jackson.

Within the regions we serve, we operate major hospitals as well as dozens of community clinics and specialty centers to care for patients with a wide range of illnesses and health needs. Because of our size and strategic partnerships with local organizations, we can pool resources, share costs, learn from each other and be more efficient, thereby accelerating our ability to improve care and solve challenges.
