A big step forward for rural healthcare in Louisiana 👏

The state has launched a new Office of Rural Health Transformation and Sustainability, focused on expanding access to care, strengthening the healthcare workforce, and improving outcomes for rural communities.

With more than $200 million in federal funding behind this effort, it’s a powerful example of how states are investing in innovative, long-term solutions for rural health.

At TexLa, we’re encouraged to see this kind of momentum and collaboration shaping the future of care.

BATON ROUGE — Gov. Jeff Landry signed an executive order creating the Office of Rural Health Transformation and Sustainability within the Louisiana Department of Health.
