Clinic Connections Pilot Program
Louisiana Rural Health Association (LRHA) will lead a pilot, Clinic Connections, in Ascension, Assumption, and Pointe Coupee Parishes of the evidence-based healthcare exchange model. This model links a rural health clinic with an EMG school, promoting collaboration among healthcare professionals, school administrators, and community leaders to enhance healthcare access.
Anticipated outcomes of
Clinic Connections pilot:
The Community Collaborations Project is a trial initiative that is bringing the proven benefits of evidence-based health exchange model from urban to rural landscapes. Our trial project plans to impact the rural areas served by this project, by creating formal connections between EMG schools, local rural health clinics, and the dedicated state-funded community health workers assigned to each parish.
Within the framework of the Community Collaborations Project, our local teams are identifying the unique needs of schools and developing strategic plans to connect school communities with essential health resources to meet these needs. This project aims to provide more resources for rural students and their families and also make the community more aware of existing health resources that are underutilized.
Join us as we strive to make a positive and lasting impact on the well-being of the communities we serve!
