May 02, 2025

LAFAYETTE, La. – Our Lady of Lourdes Physician Group held a ribbon cutting Thursday, April 24, for its new Healthy Moms Clinic, further expanding access to birthing services and gynecological care for Acadiana families.

Area providers and dignitaries attending the event, including members of OneAcadiana, received a sneak peek at the space and learned more about services provided there by Frank Caillet, MD, OB-GYN, and his team. Now open and accepting new patients at 4630 Ambassador Caffery Pkwy., Suite 408, on the Women’s & Children’s Hospital campus, the clinic specializes in all aspects of obstetrics and gynecological care, in-office ultrasound, breastfeeding support and dietitian services.

“Our Women’s & Children’s Hospital was founded over 40 years ago to serve the unique healthcare needs of Acadiana women,” said Stephanie Manson, Our Lady of Lourdes Health president. “Today, we further expand upon that promise to deliver exceptional healthcare for women and improve maternal outcomes by extending access to quality, comprehensive care.”

Opened in 1983 as Acadiana’s only maternity-focused hospital, Our Lady of Lourdes Women’s & Children’s Hospital services expanded throughout the facility’s rich history in the region to include additional women’s health services, such as the area’s sole pregnancy navigator, Level III Surgical Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, certified nurse midwife program and women’s primary care clinic. Other women’s health services include:

• Annual wellness exams
• Breastfeeding education and support
• Bariatrics
• Breast imaging
• Female pelvic medicine
• Free prenatal classes
• General and oncologic surgery
• Gynecological surgical services including fibroids, cysts, biopsies
• Lymphedema diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation 
• Maternal-fetal medicine for high-risk pregnancy
• Menopause treatment and maintenance 
• Minimally invasive gynecological surgery
• OB hospitalists
• Prenatal and postpartum dietician support

In 2023 and again in 2024, Newsweek honored Our Lady of Lourdes Women’s & Children’s Hospital as one of “America’s Best Maternity Hospitals.” A consistent recipient of state and national recognitions for patient care and experience, the hospital also received an “A” hospital safety grade from The Leapfrog Group. Recently, the Louisiana Perinatal Quality Collaborative (LaPQC) designated Our Lady of Lourdes Women’s & Children’s Hospital a Birth Ready facility. The designation celebrates improved perinatal health results attributed to safe, patient-centered, and dignified clinical practices with better outcomes for all women who give birth in Louisiana. Previously, the LaPQC awarded the hospital with its Gift designation for enhanced perinatal and neonatal health outcomes resulting from safely and consistently implementing internationally recognized breastfeeding best practices.

Our Lady of Lourdes Health launched Advancing Acadiana in 2024, a bold growth program to meet the healthcare needs of area families and ensure patients receive exceptional care in the right place, with the right resources, at the right time. The $100 million project, currently underway at several locations, includes a multi-phase plan for a modernized labor and delivery experience, a new Mother Baby unit, a transformation of the women’s medical/surgical unit and an expanded Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, complete with private family suites designed to keep loved ones close during critical moments.
