One-fourth of Louisiana’s population is children. That means more than one million children in our state rely on us to create a healthier future for them. For decades, Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital has provided excellent pediatric healthcare by serving Louisiana’s children—but we’re not done yet.

Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital believe's a freestanding children’s hospital and a statewide network of pediatric clinical excellence will transform our state. But we can’t do it without Louisiana advocates like you standing with us.
