LSU AgCenter, State Sen. Mizell Partner to FOCUS on Healthy Communities
In January, nearly 60 residents met in Franklinton, Louisiana, a town of about 3,700 residents, to discuss the challenges and barriers to health in the community.
The forum was co-hosted by Louisiana state Sen. Beth Mizell and the LSU AgCenter SNAP-Ed program. As a result of the forum, Mizell and the AgCenter have worked with community partners and residents to launch the FOCUS Healthy Community Coalition. FOCUS stands for Franklinton Organized Community Unified Supports.
