Lake Urgent Care: Innovating Baton Rouge’s Healthcare Landscape

Celebrating 26 Years of Leadership and Innovation at Lake Urgent Care

For 26 years, Lake Urgent Care has been a trusted healthcare facility in Baton Rouge, guided by the vision of its founder and Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Kevin DiBenedetto. Since opening the first clinic in 1999, Dr. DiBenedetto and his team have been committed to providing high-quality, compassionate care that evolves with the needs of the community.

Lake Urgent Care treats patients as young as three months old and offers services every day of the week. The clinics have become leaders in the urgent care space by combining traditional values with cutting-edge advancements.

A mark of this quality is the Urgent Care Association accreditation, ensuring each clinic meets the highest standards for safety, quality, and patient care. This accreditation reflects the team’s ongoing dedication to delivering exceptional healthcare.

Lake Urgent Care has continued to innovate through its seamless integration with Our Lady of the Lake’s Epic electronic medical records (EMR). Patients can now access their healthcare information through MyChart, an easy-to-use tool that allows them to manage appointments, view medical records, pay bills, and more—all in one place.

Steve Sellars, CEO, highlights how innovation remains a cornerstone of the organization’s success. “We continually look for ways to enhance the patient experience, whether through technology, expanded services, or community partnerships. Our focus is always on delivering care that is not only accessible but also forward-thinking,” says Sellars.

Lake Urgent Care has also expanded its services to address key healthcare needs in the region. Virtual Care allows patients to consult with providers from anywhere, adding convenience to their lives. Occupational health supports local businesses with pre-employment physicals, drug screenings, and more. Additionally, the newly introduced medical weight loss program tackles Louisiana’s high obesity rates with accessible treatment options like semaglutide and tirzepatide injections.

Despite these advancements, Lake Urgent Care remains grounded in its core values: compassionate care, safety, and radical consumer centricity. Every initiative is driven by the goal of providing a positive and seamless healthcare experience for patients and their families.

“We’ve grown alongside Baton Rouge, but our mission has never changed. We’re here to make healthcare easier and more accessible while maintaining the personal touch that sets us apart,” says Dr. DiBenedetto.

As Lake Urgent Care celebrates 26 years, the organization looks forward to continuing its legacy of innovation and excellence, meeting the healthcare needs of Baton Rouge for decades to come.
