In 2020, Ochsner Health unveiled Healthy State, a bold plan to partner with local and state leaders and organizations to realize a more equitable and a healthier Louisiana. By engaging organizations from every sector and corner of the state, we are working together to tackle the leading causes of poor health and to create profound impact for Louisiana residents.
Our Mission: To realize the improved health and wellness of our communities by bringing resources to underserved communities; better understanding the impact of health and social conditions; utilizing data, technology and innovation to improve outcomes; and by investing in Louisiana’s economic growth and workforce.
Together with the Healthy State Advisory Board, we believe we can achieve profound impact. As a multi-faceted team with varied backgrounds, experiences and resources, Healthy State is working daily to accomplish our mission so that one day, all Louisianians will enjoy a better, longer, healthier way of life.
