Northeast Delta Human Services Authority (NEDHSA) announces the memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Pelican State Credit Union to plan, coordinate and execute efforts to educate Northeast Louisiana about financial literacy.
"We are adding financial literacy because it is also a negative social determinant of health," Executive Director Dr. Monteic Sizer said. "Of the thousands of regional patients we see across our programmatic service areas, many struggle with financial issues."
NEDHSA and Pelican State Credit Union agree to support the following activities within the scope of the MOU. They will ensure the public knows the agency's services, financial literacy, and other resources for families, children, and other vulnerable populations in Northeast Louisiana.
NEDHSA and Pelican State Credit Union will link shared populations of partnered agencies and other initiatives by providing and sharing informational resources, collaborating, and ultimately acting as a referral point for individuals needing financial health help and/or Integrated Care help.
