Administrative Coordinator

ABOUT THE LOUISIANA RURAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION

Founded in 1992, the Louisiana Rural Health Association (LRHA) is a non-profit, 501(c)(6) membership association that is made up of Louisiana rural health care providers. This includes rural health centers (RHCs), federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), rural hospitals, and other rural stakeholders across the state.

LRHA membership consists of a diverse collection of individuals and organizations that share a common interest in ensuring that all rural communities have access to quality, affordable health care. LRHA recognizes that rural areas are unique and differ from urban areas in their geography, population mix and density, economics, lifestyle, values, and social organizations. Rural people and communities require programming and advocacy that responds to their unique characteristics and needs. LRHA works collaboratively with partners and stakeholders to create a clear understanding of rural health care in Louisiana, its needs, and effective ways to meet these needs.

LRHA provides a unified voice that promotes and enhances the quality of rural health in Louisiana and works to ensure that all Louisiana residents have access to high quality healthcare and the opportunity to live a healthy life by representing rural health needs and interests at both the state and federal levels. LRHA facilitates educational programming to enhance rural health professionals' and administrators' professional skills and keeps them abreast of the latest legislative issues. LRHA also coordinates and carries out a variety of grant funded work aimed at increasing access to care, supporting rural providers and communities, and working towards our overall mission and vision.
