OLOLRMC_LogoOur Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center has retained FaithSearch Partners to manage a search for the Director of Pastoral Care. Our Lady of the Lake is the largest private medical center in Louisiana and is the dominant healthcare institution in the greater Baton Rouge area. The Medical Center serves as the flagship hospital for the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System, which has a combined service area that covers more than 1.8 million individuals statewide.

As a Catholic hospital, Our Lady of the Lake strives to minister to the spiritual side of all patients as well as to offer quality medical care. The staff of interdenominational chaplains in the Pastoral Care Department is trained to assist patients and their families with the spiritual problems of illness and to provide the appropriate prayers, sacraments, counseling and spiritual presence. The Director of Pastoral Care will be primarily responsible to practice within, lead, supervise and administrate the staff of full- and part-time chaplains in these endeavors.
