Louisiana Healthcare Connections

Word on the street is that all our team members are on the nice list this year. Happy Holidays from Louisiana Healthcare Connections!

A healthier Louisiana starts with our communities. That’s why we are proud to invest $150,000 into the health and well-being of our communities. Through our Community Health Grants, five local nonprofits will advance critical initiatives focusing on food access, home safety, period poverty, and more. Together, we’re fostering health equity, improving health outcomes, and empowering Louisiana families. #HealthEquity #CommunityHealth #Louisiana #SocialDeterminantsOfHealth

This Thanksgiving, we reflect on the many blessings of the year – the joy, the challenges, and the unwavering spirit of community. 🧡 This year has been filled with meaningful moments, from connecting with families at Boo at the Zoo to celebrating our members at our member appreciation events. But above all, we’re grateful for the connections we've made. Every conversation, every event, and every person we’ve connected with has been a reminder of the power of community. It's all thanks to our amazing team and the people we serve. Here’s to making even more meaningful connections in the years to come. #LHCCProud #ThankfulForConnection

This year’s Rural Health Day theme is “Advancing Maternal Health in Rural Communities,” an opportunity to celebrate initiatives that improve health outcomes for some of our most vulnerable members. In rural Fresno County, CA, Health Net, a Centene company, engaged a community advisory workgroup to better understand Salvadorian cultural practices around postpartum care. Through education and tailored communication strategies, Health Net worked with providers to create culturally sensitive approaches to care. As a result, postpartum visits increased from 50% to 82% over a two year period. #RuralHealthDay #RuralHealth #PowerofRural
