It was founded in memory of Mar Augustine Kandathil, shortly after his demise, according to his original vision and plans, in 1957, as a token of his devotion to St. Thérèse de Lisieux. It is managed by the Archdiocese of Ernakulam.[1] Lisie Hospital is a tertiary referral hospital and one of the largest in Cochin.
