🌍 Today is World Health Day 🌍

Today, we are proud to recognize the Ascension Parish Public Health Unit and the many professionals and partners who work every day to keep our community healthy, informed, and supported.

This year’s theme, “Together for health. Stand with science,” is a powerful reminder that strong communities are built when we trust evidence-based care, invest in prevention, and work together to make health services accessible to everyone. Science helps guide the care, screenings, treatments, outreach, and education that improve lives every day — and collaboration is what turns that knowledge into real impact for families across our parish.

Through the Healthy Ascension partnership, APG and FMOL Health | Our Lady of the Lake are working together to expand access to public health, mental and behavioral health services, preventative care, and school and community wellness initiatives. It also includes support through the Ascension Counseling Center, which provides mental and behavioral health services for children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, along with evaluations, medication management, counseling, addiction services, hearing and vision services, community health education, mobile clinics, and more.

Thank you for all you do to serve our residents with compassion, professionalism, and purpose!
