Details:
Across Louisiana, there are critical shortages in the healthcare workforce, including, but not limited to: general practitioners, dentists, specialists, nurses, mental health providers and other allied health professionals.
These gaps contribute to Louisiana’s health disparities and limit healthcare services in areas of the state where it’s needed most.
The Foundation challenges Louisiana communities to address this major public health concern. They are seeking community-level proposals that build sustainable and lasting solutions for Louisiana’s healthcare workforce shortage.
