“Our rural communities in Northeast Louisiana face numerous gaps in healthcare services, and this funding is a result of our work to close these gaps and deliver better care,” said Congresswoman Julia Letlow. “This investment is a key step toward not only improving care, but also providing more education and support for chronic conditions like diabetes.”

Letlow supports education from early childhood to higher education, viewing it as a catalyst to elevate communities.

“As a mom of two and a former educator, I believe for children to succeed, they need families and schools to work together as partners throughout the learning process,” Letlow said. “After spending nearly a year and a half working to pass this bill, I’m grateful that we’re finally able to advance this critical legislation.” — Julia Letlow, U.S. House of Representatives website
