More About Us
The Lourdes Foundation is an affiliate of Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center, and thereby shares in her mission and devoted to "those most in need".

This humble mission of outreach was begun by Franciscan missionaries who arrived in Louisiana in 1911. The mission in which we have partnered requires us to research and identify unmet needs, especially to the poor, indigent, homeless, un-insured and underinsured. It is a large task dependent in collaboration with the Lafayette area community and the Catholic Diocese of Lafayette.

The Lourdes Foundation recognizes the Gospel message, "The poor will be with us always." This requires ongoing dedicated resources, and thus the formation of the Lourdes Foundation, Inc. In a unique way, the Lourdes Foundation allows the community to become directly involved in meeting the health needs of our community through tax-deductible donations.

In just a short period of time, the corpus has grown significantly, yet its strength can only be measured through the continued generosity of valued donors like YOU! Thousand of lives have already been touched by the Lourdes Foundation.

You can be an integral part of this extension of services offered by Our Lady of Lourdes to the community.

Through your generosity of cash donations, bequest, memorial donations, or endowments, Lourdes can continue to provide uncompensated services to the uninsured and the underinsured of the Acadiana area.

The hospital is also actively involved in various specialty programs to help serve the needs of those individuals who are suffering various disease
