In the next ten years, the state government will invest in programs to improve access to care, minimize health disparities, and promote health equity.
Ochsner Health and Louisiana elected officials announced a ten-year plan to improve the state’s overall health by investing in comprehensive projects that will enhance healthcare access and health equity.
Over the next five years, the state will make an initial investment of $100 million into programs that bring resources to underserved communities, utilize technology to improve patient outcomes, and invest in Louisiana’s next generation of healthcare providers. The state will also collaborate with research partners to better understand health disparities.
“We understand that accomplishing this aspirational goal will happen by coming together and we implore other organizations, local leaders and community members to join us in this journey to create a healthier state,” Thomas continued.
