Caddo Parish Chips in $1M to LSU Health
The local medical community has stepped up on several fronts to battle COVID-19 on the front lines and in the lab. But that battle is far from over. Help in the form of cash is now on the way from the Caddo Parish Commission.
The panel has approved the donation of as much as $1 million dollars for the LSU Health Center for Excellence for Emerging Viral Threats (CEVT). This money will be used for the expansion of the local medical school and for continued research.
The Commission approved spending up to $334,000 a year over the next three years.

Saturday s clinic at Brookshire s Grocery Arena was a partnership between LSU Health Shreveport and Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport. They provided the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, and those who turned out are considered fully vaccinated since it only requires one dose. It s a great new tool in our toolbox to fight the pandemic, said Dr. John Vanchiere, a professor of pediatrics & infectious disease at LSU Health Shreveport.
The lines started early Saturday morning in bossier city, with Margaret Rougeau joining thousands of others outside the former CenturyLink Center.
