Next Thursday there will be a virtual Town Hall to discuss the COVID-19 virus and how it is affecting our area of the state.  The information on the programs and our local town hall is included in this release from the state health department.  A link to join the meeting is provided below.

The Louisiana Public Health Institute (LPHI) and Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) are hosting a regional series of tele-town halls called “COVID-19: Preparing for the Next Phase.” Each event will be moderated by Shelina Davis, CEO of LPHI, and Earl Benjamin-Robinson, deputy director of LDH’s Office of Community Partnerships & Health Equity. Local panelists will include each region’s medical director, faith-based leaders, community advocates, and local elected officials. 

The goal of these informational sessions is to educate the community about COVID-19 response measures, discuss the phased re-opening approach, share information about available resources, and address community concerns. The dialogue will also focus on equitable health outcomes for all Louisianans, especially the African-American community who has been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19.
