Our Why
These tours hold immense importance as we embark on a journey to engage directly with communities in Regions 7, 8, 6, 5 and 9. Our mission is clear: to listen, understand, and act upon the needs of the people across the state. By visiting these areas, we aim to foster meaningful dialogue and gather invaluable insights from local residents, organizations, and leaders. Your voice is instrumental in shaping our LA40by2030 initiatives and priorities as we work towards a more equitable and inclusive future for all Louisianians in pursuit of a brighter tomorrow.
These events are free and open to the public. We do ask that you register to stay informed. Dates, times, and locations are forthcoming. Please check back for updates and registration links.
Your Voice Matters!
We are calling upon local residents, organizations, and leaders to come out, share your invaluable insights, and collectively develop solutions to reach a shared goal of improving the health of people across our state. We look forward to seeing you at one of our stops.
