In fact, the Company touts its size and presence in the Louisiana healthcare system, noting it is the “leading healthcare innovator in Louisiana.”
The Company website continues, noting:
With hospitals, clinics and physicians located throughout our state, our health system is the largest in Louisiana. In fact, we provide care to almost half of Louisiana’s citizens. Because of our size and the partnerships we have with other local organizations, we are able to pool our resources and share cost and service efficiencies and learn from each other, thereby accelerating our ability to improve care and solve challenges.

Indeed, as noted on the Company website
“[o]ur health system has partnered with the State of Louisiana as it transforms its healthcare delivery system. The partnership includes inpatient acute care and primary care delivery in Baton Rouge and Bogalusa.”
See 34. The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements state its results are subject to the
“Healthcare Industry Environment,” such that its management closely monitors the healthcare provider industry, including the “impacts of the federal healthcare reform legislation.”
See FMOLHS Consolidated Financial Statements, at 17-18.
35. Moreover, the Company’s Board of Directors is not controlled by a church. In fact, the Board of Directors members currently listed on the Company’s website include:
Jim Prince, Chairman Gerald Boudreaux, John J. Finan, Jr., Claude Harbarger,Howard Harvill, John S. Lore, C.W. “Bill” Lovell II, M.D., James W. Moore, Jr.,
Steven R. Nathanson,Sr.
Brendan Mary Ronayne, F.M.O.L.,
Kevin Schexnayder,
Karen Williams, M.D.
See 36.
Of the twelve (12) individuals on the Board, eleven (11) are laypeople. The fact that more than ninety percent (90%) of the Board is comprised of lay people underscores that FMOLHS is concerned with healthcare and not religion.
Case 3:16-cv-00258-SDD-EWD Document 1 04/21/16 Page 9 of 261037.
Thus, the Company’s executive leadership is comprised almost entirely of laypeople, with only one out of 13 members from the clergy or a religious order.
39. Moreover, the Presidents of the Company’s five hospitals and the affiliated college are all laypeople.
As stated by the Company,
“[a]bove all else, our goal is to always deliver excellent, safe care.”
