Louisiana Health Care Commission

The Louisiana Health Care Commission (LHCC) reviews and studies the issues affecting the availability, affordability and delivery of quality health care in Louisiana. The commission conducts public meetings to receive information and testimony from regional and national experts on health care access issues.

The LHCC was created by Act 1068 of the 1992 Louisiana Legislative Session (see mission statement and bylaws here). The commission meets quarterly each year and is composed of health care experts and other interested parties, including health care insurers and providers, community leaders and representatives of Louisiana colleges and universities and various consumer interest groups.
