The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) awarded a $363,566 Project Grant under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance program (CFDA 93.243) to the Lasalle Parish Hospital Service District No 1, doing business as Hardtner Medical Center, for the period of September 30, 2024 to September 29, 2026. The grant will be used to train and educate the parish's emergency medical services (EMS) personnel, recruit and train new EMS personnel, and educate the public on the epidemic of narcotic use, misuse, and mental health crises. Specific activities include providing EMR and EMT training classes, distributing overdose prevention kits, training on the use of naloxone, and distributing naloxone products. The project aims to improve emergency care and resources within the rural parish, which has limited resources, by increasing the number of available EMS providers and educating the public, local fire departments, and law enforcement.
