On this week’s Medical Monday, Ben Schuler, VP and Regional COO of Our Lady of the Lake, shares exciting news about a major expansion in Livingston Parish. A $5 million investment will bring a 10-bed observation unit to the area by spring 2026—marking the first step toward overnight care locally. This upgrade means patients needing extended monitoring can stay close to home, avoiding transfers to Baton Rouge. Schuler highlights how this development reflects Livingston’s growth and Our Lady of the Lake’s commitment to becoming a full-service hospital. With more services, specialists, and infrastructure on the horizon, Livingston’s healthcare future looks bright.
