JPHSA Celebrates 30 Years of Service to the Community
Staff and members of JPHSA’s Board of Directors were on hand to help commemorate JPHSA’s three decades of service to the Jefferson Parish community at a recent all-staff meeting. In 1989, the original legislation creating JPHSA was enacted and the first Board of Directors was appointed. Since then, JPHSA has been driven by a mission to help individuals and families in Jefferson Parish affected by mental illness, addictive disorders, and developmental disabilities to live full, healthy, independent and productive lives to the greatest extent possible for available resources. In recent years, JPHSA has also integrated primary care into clinical services through a Federally Qualified Health Center with sites in East and West Jefferson.
Members of JPHSA staff and Board of Directors celebrate JPHSA’s 30th anniversary at a recent all-staff meeting.
