Serving across our state.
In nine regions of Louisiana, the Office of Public Health serves as a multi-faceted healthcare provider and provides public health leadership to local communities. The team in each region includes doctors, nurses, other clinicians, engineers, chemists, biologists, emergency response experts, sanitarians and other qualified professionals who help keep communities healthy and safe.
In each region, OPH operates health units that serve as the hub for each parish‘s public health needs. Click on any region to see the parishes in that region and details about health services.
