Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System

What Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System does

Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System, now operating under the unified brand FMOL Health, is a non-profit Catholic healthcare system headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, sponsored by the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady religious order. The system operates 10 hospitals, extensive outpatient clinics, physician practices, and urgent care centers across Louisiana and Mississippi, supported by approximately 20,000 team members and 1,915 active medical staff serving more than 2 million patients annually. Its flagship, Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center, holds Level I Adult Trauma and Level II Pediatric Trauma verification from the American College of Surgeons, alongside Advanced Stroke Center, cancer, cardiovascular, and bariatric accreditations. The portfolio also includes the largest pediatric network in Louisiana, with two dedicated children's hospitals.

The system's technology platform centers on a unified Epic EHR (with MyChart patient portal and Epic Gold Stars Level 10 designation for three consecutive years), integrated with Epic Care Everywhere and Cerner CommonWell health information exchanges. Notable clinical technology deployments include the FDA-cleared Cytovale IntelliSep rapid sepsis diagnostic (achieving 19% relative reduction in sepsis mortality across 34,000+ ED patients), a robotic surgery program surpassing 5,000 procedures, Louisiana's first regional ECMO program, and an outpatient CAR-T cell therapy program. Revenue is generated through fee-for-service payments from commercial insurers, Medicare, Medicaid, and self-pay patients across the full continuum of acute care, emergency/trauma, oncology, cardiovascular, neurology, women's, pediatric, primary, and surgical services. Distribution is direct-to-patient via hospital facilities, outpatient networks, telehealth/virtual visits, and the MyChart portal, with Workforce Health Solutions serving employer groups. The organization rebranded to FMOL Health in November 2025 and earned a Moody's A1 credit rating upgrade in December 2025, reflecting strengthening financial capacity to support continued service line expansion, including a January 2026 joint venture with Orion Laboratories for laboratory services.
