LRHA is proud to partner with the All of Us Research Program of the National Institute of Health (NIH).  All of Us is seeking to enroll one million people of diverse experiences and backgrounds from across the United States in the hopes of advancing medical research.  People who join share information about their health, habits, and environment to provide a diverse and representative data pool for researchers to learn more about the factors that impact health.  LRHA works in collaboration with All of Us, the National Rural Health Association,  and other partners to increase awareness of the Program and increase Louisiana rural resident enrollment in the program.

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.
