Our award-winning emergency departments across our health system in Louisiana and Mississippi provide a complete range of emergency medical and surgical services around the clock. In Baton Rouge at Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center we offer the region’s only Level I trauma center, and in Monroe at St. Francis Medical Center we have a Level III trauma program.
Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center is designated by the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals and the Louisiana Emergency Response Network as a Level I trauma center. The certification means the trauma center has passed a rigorous survey and verification process by the American College of Surgeons, Committee on Trauma.
Our Lady of the Lake Children's Hospital is verified as a Level II pediatric trauma center by the American College of Surgeons. It’s the first and only pediatric trauma center in the Capital Region with this distinction.
