The LaACEP chapter has a unique relationship with the health care community of Louisiana.  The chapter meets regularly with Department of Health and Hospitals state leaders to discuss items of mutual interest, including disaster response and medical volunteer recruitment and training.

The State Health Officer is actively involved with LaACEP in the planning and implementation of key projects, such as the development of Crisis Standards of Care. Many of our chapter leaders have direct experience with disaster response and training at the state and federal levels. As a result of our network, there are many opportunities for up-to-date training in the American Medical Association, Advanced Disaster life Support (ADLS) and International Trauma Life Support (ITLS) courses available through our office.
