When OLOL began treating cancer in 1923, treatment options were mostly limited to pain management. OLOL is not only committed to providing complete care – from diagnosis to follow-up – but also to remaining the area’s technological leader. OLOL is among the first five accredited integrated cancer centers in the country; among the first 10 U.S. hospitals accredited in cellular therapy; and the largest outpatient treatment capacity. In addition, OLOL offers more impatient visits than any other local center; Baton Rouge area’s only peripheral blood stem cell transportation program; and Louisiana’s only high-dose Interleukin-2 chemotherapy treatment center. The Cancer Program of Our Lady of the Lake and Mary Bird Perkins provides free cancer screenings throughout the year including prostate, skin and colorectal cancer screenings. These events provide diagnostic and educational services to underserved and uninsured populations throughout the greater Baton Rouge region. We are proving daily that area residents do not have to leave family and friends behind to find innovative, world-class treatment. They can chose a phenomenal cancer fighting team right in their own backyard.
