Our Lady of the Lake has announced a partnership with The Spine Hospital of Louisiana (SHOLA).
The Spine Hospital of Louisiana boasts top neurosurgeons, orthopedic spine surgeons, and pain management physicians. The long-time physician owned hospital consistently earns the Press Ganey Guardian of Excellence Award, which recognizes the top 5% of all U.S. hospitals in overall patient satisfaction score. In 2021, the Spine Hospital was recognized for its exceptional safety and quality as a top general hospital nationally by The Leapfrog Group.
“Our Lady of the Lake is pleased to partner The Spine Hospital of Louisiana on an innovative model that works with physicians to provide quality care at a lower cost,” shared Scott Wester, president and CEO of Our Lady of the Lake. “We are continually looking for ways to provide our patients with the right care at the right place. This new partnership will expand options for our patients and continue to ensure exceptional outcomes in a specialty setting.”
This partnership complements Our Lady of the Lake’s work and continues the growing footprint that includes the state’s only dedicated neuro ICU, a stroke center of excellence, the region’s only designated trauma center, and advanced imaging capabilities.
“The Our Lady of the Lake and Spine Hospital partnership is a very powerful combination,” stated Robert Blair, president and CEO of The Spine Hospital of Louisiana. “Together, working as a team, SHOLA will be able to unlock the tools, strengths, and resources which Our Lady of the Lake provides, allowing us to continue and build upon our established reputation of excellence. We believe Our Lady of the Lake’s network and reputation in South Louisiana will provide additional opportunities for growth, which ultimately benefits our future patients and their loved ones.”
