EatMoveGrow

EatMoveGrow is a federally funded grant program that offers a wide variety of engaging programs to children, families, community organizations, and schools in rural, underserved communities across Southeast Louisiana. Our primary mission is to close health gaps and create opportunities that promote stronger health environments for children. EMG is currently promoting a pilot program to create a partnership between rural health clinics and elementary school in rural parishes to increase resources and information sharing to both the schools and their families. The program is also partnering with Louisiana’s Office of Public Health’s Community HealthWays program to offer families assistance through their community health worker program. The EMG program is hoping to increase the awareness of resources within these rural communities by offering information to the schools and their families.

Medicare Education Programs 

Our organization works with Scott Woods to help the members of our community with Medicare questions and plans. The LRHA Medicare Education Program includes Medicare education classes for those new to Medicare as well as individual plan reviews both during Medicare Open Enrollment and year-round.  In order to better serve our members and Medicare Beneficiaries, we also have a Medicare Information Line. Your patients can call this line with questions on Original Medicare, Medicare and Drug Plans, or any other question related to Medicare. Advisers also assist with enrollment into subsidies such as Extra Help, Pharmaceutical Assistance programs, and various Medicare Savings Programs. The Medicare Information Line is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and costs your patients nothing. Have your patients call 888-244-6218 for all their Medicare needs. To schedule a Medicare 101 class at your facility, email Scott Woods at medicare@lrha.org.
