While much has changed in the community and at Lourdes since its inception as a 25-bed hospital, the commitment of the Daughters of Charity and their Mission of caring remains constant into the new century. Ascension Health has more than 87,000 employees who work in 15 states and the District of Columbia. Lourdes is now a member of Ascension Health, and continues to serve the community in which we live. We invite you to explore the many excellent health care services we provide. Its purpose is to provide quality health care services which promote health, treat illness and alleviate suffering.
Staff strive to serve the sick and the poor in a holistic manner.
Hospital services are available to the extent resources allow to all persons seeking those services, regardless of race, creed, sex, disability or socioeconomic status, from the moment of conception until passage through death to eternal life. Lourdes recognizes the importance of serving its community and participating in activities that match the community's needs. In this service, it believes that the medical staff is a valued partner. Since it holds these things to be important, Lourdes will collaborate with other health entities and planning agencies to help provide essential services, particularly in primary and secondary health care and cancer services to its community. As a Catholic Hospital, Lourdes is committed to the moral and ethical teachings of the Roman Catholic Church and the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services approved by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops.
