Lafayette, LA – Lafayette Consolidated Government, Ochsner Lafayette General, Our Lady of Lourdes, and United Way of Acadiana have partnered together to present the United in Health Breakfast Expert Panel. The event will take place on Friday, August 18 from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. at the Heymann Performing Arts Center.

Mayor-President Josh Guillory will unveil his Health Equity Task Force, an initiative he started in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, whose mission was to achieve the highest quality of healthcare for all residents of Lafayette Parish. The event will feature a panel of health experts who will discuss the progress being made to address health disparities and achieve health equity for all members of the community.
