Stronger Together
HALT-COVID Louisiana is a statewide collaborative effort by the Louisiana Community Engagement Alliance Against Covid-19 Disparities (LA-CEAL). This partnership aims to provide our communities with the resources and tools needed to protect our neighborhoods, towns, cities, and parishes from the spread of COVID-19.
OUR MISSION
To foster community-level awareness and understanding regarding the coronavirus pandemic and the impact of COVID-19 on individuals, their families, and the larger community.
To expand existing COVID-19 community education resources and to meet the needs of Louisianans most impacted by COVID-19.
To support decision-making about participation in COVID-19 prevention (e.g., vaccines) and therapeutic initiatives and trials among underrepresented Louisianans.
To support timely dissemination of accurate COVID-19 information and resources for communities across Louisiana that are disproportionately affected by COVID-19.
