Our Lady of the Lake Ascension is a 78-bed community hospital in Gonzales, Louisiana. In December 2004, Our Lady of the Lake Ascension became the fourth hospital in the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System (FMOLHS). Our sponsorship by the FMOLHS has provided the means to expand and upgrade the hospital to meet the needs of our growing area. St. Elizabeth Hospital and the sponsored organizations of the FMOLHS strive to create a healing and spiritual presence through service, reverence and love for all of life, joyfulness of spirit, and humility and justice for all those entrusted to our care.
