Community care across Louisiana
The organization’s administrative office is at 2900 Indiana Avenue in Kenner. Its care network includes community clinics and school locations serving children and adults. The organization describes a focus on communities where access to healthcare is difficult, including patients without insurance.
Its access model includes income-based fee reductions and support with Medicaid applications. Primary care is linked with services such as pharmacy support and health education, allowing patients to obtain different kinds of assistance through the same network. Individual clinic services vary by location.
Mental health alongside physical healthcare
The behavioral-health programme includes psychologists, psychiatrists, licensed professional counselors and clinical social workers. Its published areas of care include depression, anxiety, trauma-related difficulties, bipolar disorder, attention concerns and substance-use problems.
The organization describes assessment and care planning with patients and families, alongside individual or group work where appropriate. It also has an infant and early-childhood behavioral-health programme addressing social, emotional and developmental concerns together with caregivers. This places mental health within the wider community-care network.

The Oakdale school health center
In Allen Parish, the Oakdale School-Based Health Center is on the Oakdale Middle and High School campus. Access Health Louisiana lists it at 124 South 13th Street, Building 2. Its services include pediatric primary care, immunizations, school physicals and behavioral-health counseling.
The Allen Parish School Board also describes the center’s relationship with Access Health Louisiana. Student care requires consent and enrollment, and the school board identifies the network’s Woodworth community clinic as a route for continuing care during school breaks. School-based care therefore connects with services beyond the school campus.
