LPHI and LDH to Host Regional Tele-Town Hall Series – COVID-19: Preparing for the Next Phase

The Louisiana Public Health Institute (LPHI) and Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) are hosting a regional series of tele-town halls called “COVID-19: Preparing for the Next Phase.” Each event will be moderated by Shelina Davis, CEO of LPHI, and Earl Benjamin-Robinson, deputy director of LDH’s Office of Community Partnerships & Health Equity. Local panelists will include each region’s medical director, faith-based leaders, community advocates, and local elected officials.

The goal of these informational sessions is to educate the community about COVID-19 response measures, discuss the phased re-opening approach, share information about available resources, and address community concerns. The dialogue will also focus on equitable health outcomes for all Louisianans, especially the African-American community who has been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19.
