OLOL Offers Peek at Future
Children’s Hospital
Our Lady of the Lake shared an update on its vision
for Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital this
summer. For the last 18 months, OLOL has been
working with its physicians, team members, and
patient families, while guided by HKS Architects,
to develop this long-time goal and build upon the
hospital’s existing expertise and commitment to
further improve children’s health in Louisiana.
Our Lady of the Lake proposes building Our
Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital on property
that runs parallel to I-10 in between Essen and
Bluebonnet near Our Lady of the Lake’s main
campus. Hospital plans will include inpatient

dedicated hematology/oncology unit to further
enhance care as one of seven St. Jude Affiliates in
the country. Plans also include a connected medi-
cal office building.
