FMOL Health - No. 19 Out Of 500

The big winner for Louisiana is FMOL Health.

The Baton Rouge-based healthcare company landed at No. 19 nationally, putting it among the top 20 employers on the entire Forbes list.

FMOL Health is a nonprofit Catholic healthcare system with hospitals, clinics and other medical facilities throughout Louisiana.

You might recognize some of its facilities, including -

Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center in Lafayette.
Our Lady of Lourdes Women's & Children's Hospital in Lafayette.
St. Francis Medical Center in Monroe.
Our Lady of the Angels Hospital in Bogalusa.

For those of us in Acadiana, the recognition is particularly interesting because FMOL Health is a major local healthcare employer through its Our Lady of Lourdes facilities.

The organization has more than 21,000 employees and offers career opportunities across a wide range of healthcare and administrative positions.

Congrats to all three of these Louisiana companies that made the list!
