"Lane's ultimate purpose is to help you heal, which is why we have a local investment of more than 700 caring staff members and 160 dedicated physicians providing state-of-the-art equipment, technology and services."

When Lane Regional Medical Center opened in 1960, Zachary was a sleepy suburb of Baton Rouge.  In the years since then much has changed. Today, with 137 beds and 700+ employees, Lane is the largest employer within the city of Zachary and has a renewed commitment to the profession and the community.

Under the leadership of the Board of Commissioners, administration and department leaders, Lane Regional Medical Center continues to grow and aggressively recruit new physicians and quality staff members.

Lane continues to build upon its solid physician base of 160+ physicians covering an ever-growing range of medical specialties.  The caring nursing staff continues to rise to the challenge and has proven time and time again to be the best at what they do. As the front line in care, they bring a tremendous sense of trust and compassion to each and every patient.  And they do it every day.

Behind the scenes, employees are dedicated to meeting and exceeding patient expectations through professionalism, teamwork and a positive attitude.  A patient satisfaction program called Strive for 5 gives staff members the tools they need to succeed.

Lane Regional Medical Center takes its responsibilities and investment in the community very seriously, which is why it continues to change and grow and is now a thriving regional facility.
