About LAA
Founded in 1995, the Mission of the Louisiana Ambulance Alliance is:
-
to promote emergency medical transport as a distinct concern in Louisiana;
-
to serve as a forum for a unified voice for healthcare providers, public officials, healthcare workers, educators and consumers working to improve emergency medical transport in Louisiana;
-
to provide a forum for the exchange and distribution of ideas and information related to the improvement of emergency medical transport;
-
to serve as an advocate for emergency medical transport, promoting improved health status and improvements to the health system for residents of Louisiana; and
-
to encourage the development of appropriate health resources for Louisiana.
Additionally, the Alliance recognizes Louisiana is unique and differs from other states in our geography, population mix and density, economic, lifestyles, values and social organization. Louisiana citizens and communities require programming and advocacy that responds to their unique characteristics and needs.
The Alliance represents ambulance services across Louisiana that participate in serving the citizens of Louisiana with emergency and nonemergency care and medical transportation services.
The Alliance is a diverse group of providers from communities, spread across the state of Louisiana – providers who care about improving and providing pre-hospital care in Louisiana – providers who reach hospitals, physicians and homes – providers who plan for the healthcare services provided in the towns and parishes – for individuals who need quality pre-hospital services within their reach.
