Baton Rouge, LA - Our Lady of the Lake Health is proud to share that Newsweek has named Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center as one of the ‘World’s Best Hospitals’ for 2025. This global award recognizes the unwavering commitment the hospital has shown towards excellence, compassion, and world-class patient care.

Over 2,400 hospitals were ranked this year, with Newsweek highlighting the top 250 hospitals worldwide. The ranking is based on the results of an extensive evaluation process.
