“He who has health has hope; and he who has hope has everything.”
Arabic Proverb

subhead

Health equals hope. It’s that simple. The Rapides Foundation has high hopes for the health of each and every one of Central Louisiana residents, but the Foundation does not merely hope for good health. Since our creation, we have worked hard at promoting behaviors that lead to it and improving access to the care needed to have it.

Healthy People Initiative

At The Rapides Foundation, we dedicate half of our spending to selected healthy behavior and healthcare access interventions through our Healthy People initiative. We use the term Healthy People in recognition of the health and wellness goals reflected in the national Healthy People 2010 report supported by the federal Department of Health and Human Services.
