In an effort to provide Louisiana residents with information to help them stay safe while rebuilding in areas devastated by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention partnered with the Louisiana Public Health Institute (my employer) to create the Stay Healthy Louisiana campaign, which included a toll-free hotline, website and mass media ads. About a year after funding for the program came to an end, I decided to relaunch the campaign as a blog dedicated to the latest news and ideas for healthier living in Louisiana. Stay Healthy Louisiana’s mission it to develop a statewide community in support of healthy ideas and discussion surrounding policies designed to improve the health of all Louisianians. Check out the Stay Healthy Louisiana blog. Let me know what you think and consider becoming a sponsor. Twitter: @StayHealthyLa
