Our Lady of Lourdes Heart Hospital

Our Achievements:

• We are the only Acadiana hospital to receive the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines® – Stroke quality achievement award for 10 consecutive years. In addition, we received the American Heart Association’s Target: Stroke℠ Elite award for meeting specific criteria that reduces the time between an eligible patient’s arrival at the hospital and treatment with the clot-buster alteplase.
• We’re home to a congestive heart failure program accredited by The Joint Commission.
• We are a recipient of the Press Ganey Human Experience Guardian of Excellence Award® and CMS 5-star rating for patient experience.
• Our chest pain network is the only one of its kind in Acadiana, created by forging relationships with emergency departments in outlying communities to share best practices, improve care and increase access to advanced treatments and technology.
• We are the first in Lafayette to offer, and the first in the region to be certified by the American College of Cardiology to provide, the minimally invasive TransCarotid Artery Revascularization (TAVR) procedure for valve repair and replacement.
• We are the first hospital in Acadiana to offer the Micra™ pacemaker. The size of a vitamin pill, the Micra is capable of regulating heartbeats just like bigger models. Implanting the device reduces the risk of infection and allows a much shorter recovery time than a traditional pacemaker.
