Great things happening at Citizens Medical Center

Congresswoman Julia Letlow (LA-05) today announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will invest more than $2.4 million in improving healthcare across Louisiana’s Fifth District. The funding is targeted to rural communities and will be dispersed through the USDA’s Rural Development Community Facilities Emergency Rural Health Care program.

"As we've seen over the past two years, healthcare is a critical need in our rural communities," Letlow said. "We're incredibly proud of these substantial grants awarded in our region and look forward to continue working on the Appropriations Committee to bring home even more investments in the future."

"Citizens Medical Center in Columbia is providing critical healthcare services to rural communities in Caldwell Parish and beyond. Enjoyed visiting their facilities and learning more about their future plans for our region," added Letlow.
