Collaborating for a healthier Louisiana.

The key to successful coordinated care is community collaboration. This platform strengthens community partnerships by increasing visibility in care gaps and removes guess work as we unite to address social determinants of health in Northwest Louisiana.

We joined the Unite Louisiana network because the network enables us to streamline referral services across the state and the country. It connects us to different service providers, allowing us to maximize the amount of services we can connect our community to.

The Unite Louisiana network provides a quick and transparent solution to serve our clients. We can easily follow our clients from the initial referral all the way through assistance to ensure that those needs are met. It’s truly an efficient use of our time and resources.

We are super-fans of Unite Us because our communities are stronger when we work together. Life doesn’t stop when cancer arrives and Unite Us is invaluable in helping us connect patients and caregivers to other community resources. It takes a village. The growing number of organizations who are a part of the Unite Us network means that people aren’t facing cancer or other challenges alone.

Healthcare represents only about 10 percent of the contributing factors to health; the remaining 90 percent are a combination of socioeconomic and environmental factors like food and shelter. Empowering community organizations with the tools and resources they need to address these factors at the local level is an important part of our statewide strategy to help Louisiana families and individuals overcome barriers to their care so they become healthier. We are pleased to be able to provide the Unite Us platform to our community partners so we can all work together to more effectively address these issues.

When helping people on their path to better health, we value innovation and collaboration. Unite Louisiana brings together community-focused companies to help Louisianans get access to the resources and support they need.

We are excited to be working with Unite Us to provide critical resources to underserved communities across Louisiana. As we continue to face COVID-19, this is the time to invest in the people we serve and provide support to create a healthier region. Together, Ochsner and Unite Us can help remove barriers and support the foundation of a healthier life for our community.

This strategic partnership with Unite Louisiana helps us continue to focus on both community and business integration to improve clinical and social health outcomes for individuals throughout the state. We see this as an investment that drives real and lasting change for those who need social support.
